Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-acetyl-3-methylpentanoate CAS 1540-31-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 186.25 g/mol gives Ethyl 2-acetyl-3-methylpentanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-acetyl-3-methylpentanoate (CAS 1540-31-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H18O3, MW 186.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Ethyl 2-acetyl-3-methylpentanoate (C10H18O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 2-acetyl-3-methylpentanoate 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.
