Chemical Structure

Butyl Lactate CAS 138-22-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Butyl Lactate 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 Butyl Lactate (CAS 138-22-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H14O3, MW 146.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C7H14O3, Butyl Lactate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 146.18 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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), Butyl Lactate 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.
