Chemical Structure

(2R,3R,4S)-2,3,4-Trihydroxy-5-(methylthio)pentanal CAS 53458-58-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (2R,3R,4S)-2,3,4-Trihydroxy-5-(methylthio)pentanal is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 180.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

CATO supplies (2R,3R,4S)-2,3,4-Trihydroxy-5-(methylthio)pentanal (CAS 53458-58-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H12O4S, MW 180.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
