Chemical Structure

(R)-3-Methyl-pentanoic Acid CAS 16958-25-1 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (R)-3-Methyl-pentanoic Acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 116.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

(R)-3-Methyl-pentanoic Acid (CAS 16958-25-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H12O2 and a molecular weight of 116.16 g/mol.

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
