Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-methylvalerate CAS 25415-67-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 4-methylvalerate 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.

CATO supplies Ethyl 4-methylvalerate (CAS 25415-67-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H16O2, MW 144.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl 4-methylvalerate is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 144.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.
