Chemical Structure

(S)-3-Hydroxybutanoic Acid CAS 6168-83-8 chemical structure

Description

(S)-3-Hydroxybutanoic Acid (C4H8O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

(S)-3-Hydroxybutanoic Acid (CAS 6168-83-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H8O3 and a molecular weight of 104.10 g/mol.

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.

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.
