Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxy-2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid CAS 59107-75-4 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies 3-Hydroxy-2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 59107-75-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H6O5, MW 146.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 3-Hydroxy-2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid (C5H6O5) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Hydroxy-2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid 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.
