Chemical Structure

D-α-Hydroxyisovaleric acid CAS 17407-56-6 chemical structure

Description

D-α-Hydroxyisovaleric acid (CAS 17407-56-6), molecular formula C5H10O3 and molecular weight 118.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

D-α-Hydroxyisovaleric acid (C5H10O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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.
