Chemical Structure

2-Ethylhexanoic acid CAS 25103-52-0 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 2-Ethylhexanoic acid.

2-Ethylhexanoic acid (CAS 25103-52-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H16O2 and a molecular weight of 144.21 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Ethylhexanoic acid (C8H16O2) 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.

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.
