2-Hydroxyethyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate CAS 68162-50-5

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Hydroxyethyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate.

2-Hydroxyethyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate (CAS 68162-50-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H10O6 and a molecular weight of 214.17 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-Hydroxyethyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 214.17 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.
