Chemical Structure

Glycidol CAS 556-52-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Glycidol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Glycidol (CAS 556-52-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C3H6O2 and a molecular weight of 74.08 g/mol.

Structurally, Glycidol (C3H6O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 74.08 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

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.
