Chemical Structure

2-Methylbutyric Acid CAS 116-53-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Methylbutyric Acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Methylbutyric Acid (CAS 116-53-0), molecular formula C5H10O2 and molecular weight 102.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Methylbutyric Acid (C5H10O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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), 2-Methylbutyric 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.
