Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid CAS 197384-98-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Hydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid.

3-Hydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid (CAS 197384-98-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H4ClF5OS and a molecular weight of 266.62 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-Hydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid (C7H4ClF5OS) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
