Chemical Structure

2-Ethylhexyl pivalate CAS 16387-18-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Ethylhexyl pivalate 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-Ethylhexyl pivalate (CAS 16387-18-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H26O2, MW 214.34 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-Ethylhexyl pivalate (C13H26O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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), 2-Ethylhexyl pivalate 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.
