3-(Hydroxymethyl)heptan-4-one CAS 27970-80-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 3-(Hydroxymethyl)heptan-4-one (CAS 27970-80-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H16O2, MW 144.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

3-(Hydroxymethyl)heptan-4-one (C8H16O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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.
