(2R,3S,4R,5S,6R)-3-Amino-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2,4,5-triol CAS 6490-72-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (2R,3S,4R,5S,6R)-3-Amino-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2,4,5-triol.

(2R,3S,4R,5S,6R)-3-Amino-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2,4,5-triol (CAS 6490-72-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H13NO5 and a molecular weight of 179.17 g/mol.

The molecular framework of (2R,3S,4R,5S,6R)-3-Amino-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2,4,5-triol (C6H13NO5) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
