Chemical Structure

3,3-Dimethyl-4-oxopentanoic acid CAS 23461-67-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3,3-Dimethyl-4-oxopentanoic acid 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.

3,3-Dimethyl-4-oxopentanoic acid (CAS 23461-67-8), molecular formula C7H12O3 and molecular weight 144.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3,3-Dimethyl-4-oxopentanoic acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 144.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3,3-Dimethyl-4-oxopentanoic acid 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.
