Chemical Structure

2,3-Dihydroxypropyl 3-oxobutanoate CAS 66523-11-3 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 2,3-Dihydroxypropyl 3-oxobutanoate.

CATO supplies 2,3-Dihydroxypropyl 3-oxobutanoate (CAS 66523-11-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C41H64O14C13H20N4O2C6H5NO2, MW 1168.39 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2,3-Dihydroxypropyl 3-oxobutanoate is typically pale yellow to yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 1168.39 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
