Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-pyran-6-carboxylic acid CAS 93905-59-0 chemical structure

Description

3-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-pyran-6-carboxylic acid (CAS 93905-59-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H4O5 and a molecular weight of 156.09 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-pyran-6-carboxylic acid (C6H4O5) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure. 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-pyran-6-carboxylic 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.
