Chemical Structure

4-Hydroxy-2,3-dihydropyran-6-one CAS 55100-07-7 chemical structure

Description

4-Hydroxy-2,3-dihydropyran-6-one (CAS 55100-07-7), molecular formula C5H6O3 and molecular weight 114.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4-Hydroxy-2,3-dihydropyran-6-one is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 114.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.
