Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(propan-2-yloxy)acetate CAS 17639-73-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-(propan-2-yloxy)acetate 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.

Methyl 2-(propan-2-yloxy)acetate (CAS 17639-73-5), molecular formula C6H12O3 and molecular weight 132.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-(propan-2-yloxy)acetate (C6H12O3) 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.

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.

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.
