Chemical Structure

2-Methylheptanoic Acid CAS 1188-02-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Methylheptanoic 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.

CATO supplies 2-Methylheptanoic Acid (CAS 1188-02-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H16O2, MW 144.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Methylheptanoic Acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 144.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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

CATO manufactures 2-Methylheptanoic Acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
