3-hydroxy-2-pyrone CAS 496-64-0

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 112.08 g/mol gives 3-hydroxy-2-pyrone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-hydroxy-2-pyrone (CAS 496-64-0), molecular formula C5H4O3 and molecular weight 112.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 3-hydroxy-2-pyrone (C5H4O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 112.08 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-hydroxy-2-pyrone meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
