Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxy-DL-leucine CAS 6645-45-0 chemical structure

Description

3-Hydroxy-DL-leucine (CAS 6645-45-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H13NO3 and a molecular weight of 147.17 g/mol.

Structurally, 3-Hydroxy-DL-leucine (C6H13NO3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide 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 147.17 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Hydroxy-DL-leucine 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.
