Chemical Structure

(3R,4R,5R)-3,4-Dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-3-methyldihydrofuran-2(3H)-one CAS 86204-17-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies (3R,4R,5R)-3,4-Dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-3-methyldihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (CAS 86204-17-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H10O5, MW 162.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, (3R,4R,5R)-3,4-Dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-3-methyldihydrofuran-2(3H)-one is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 162.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.
