Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl 3-methylbutanoate CAS 16792-03-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

tert-Butyl 3-methylbutanoate (CAS 16792-03-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H18O2 and a molecular weight of 158.24 g/mol.

The molecular framework of tert-Butyl 3-methylbutanoate (C9H18O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

As a certified reference material (CRM), tert-Butyl 3-methylbutanoate 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.
