Chemical Structure

2-Methyldodecanoic acid CAS 2874-74-0 chemical structure

Description

2-Methyldodecanoic acid (CAS 2874-74-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H26O2 and a molecular weight of 214.34 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-Methyldodecanoic acid (C13H26O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 214.34 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), 2-Methyldodecanoic 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.
