Chemical Structure

(2R,3R,4S)-2,3,4-Trihydroxypentanal CAS 49694-62-4 chemical structure

Description

(2R,3R,4S)-2,3,4-Trihydroxypentanal (CAS 49694-62-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H17FO and a molecular weight of 256.31 g/mol.

Structurally, (2R,3R,4S)-2,3,4-Trihydroxypentanal (C17H17FO) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 256.31 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), (2R,3R,4S)-2,3,4-Trihydroxypentanal 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.
