Chemical Structure

2,3:5,6-Di-O-isopropylidene-L-gulonolactone CAS 7306-64-1 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 2,3:5,6-Di-O-isopropylidene-L-gulonolactone.

2,3:5,6-Di-O-isopropylidene-L-gulonolactone (CAS 7306-64-1), molecular formula C12H18O6 and molecular weight 258.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2,3:5,6-Di-O-isopropylidene-L-gulonolactone (C12H18O6) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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

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.
