Chemical Structure

Glycidyl butyrate CAS 2461-40-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Glycidyl butyrate 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.

Glycidyl butyrate (CAS 2461-40-7), molecular formula C7H12O3 and molecular weight 144.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Glycidyl butyrate (C7H12O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 144.17 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

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.

CATO manufactures Glycidyl butyrate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
