Chemical Structure

(2R,3S)-3-Amino-2-hydroxybutanoic acid CAS 70671-47-5 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)-3-Amino-2-hydroxybutanoic acid.

(2R,3S)-3-Amino-2-hydroxybutanoic acid (CAS 70671-47-5), molecular formula C4H9NO3 and molecular weight 119.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

(2R,3S)-3-Amino-2-hydroxybutanoic acid (C4H9NO3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (2R,3S)-3-Amino-2-hydroxybutanoic acid 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.
