Chemical Structure

(2R,3S)-2-Dodecyl-3-methylsuccinic acid CAS 29838-46-8 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 (2R,3S)-2-Dodecyl-3-methylsuccinic acid.

CATO supplies (2R,3S)-2-Dodecyl-3-methylsuccinic acid (CAS 29838-46-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H32O4, MW 300.43 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (2R,3S)-2-Dodecyl-3-methylsuccinic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 300.43 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
