Chemical Structure

2-Hydroxypropanal CAS 598-35-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 74.08 g/mol gives 2-Hydroxypropanal distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2-Hydroxypropanal (CAS 598-35-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H6O2, MW 74.08 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2-Hydroxypropanal (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.

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), 2-Hydroxypropanal 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.
