Chemical Structure

L-(+)-Citramalic Acid CAS 6236-09-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of L-(+)-Citramalic Acid is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

L-(+)-Citramalic Acid (CAS 6236-09-5), molecular formula C5H8O5 and molecular weight 148.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

L-(+)-Citramalic Acid (C5H8O5) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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.
