Chemical Structure

(S)-2,4-Dihydroxybutanoic acid CAS 62445-25-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (S)-2,4-Dihydroxybutanoic acid is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(S)-2,4-Dihydroxybutanoic acid (CAS 62445-25-4), molecular formula C4H8O4 and molecular weight 120.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, (S)-2,4-Dihydroxybutanoic acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 120.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.
