Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-methoxybutanoate CAS 3136-17-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 3-methoxybutanoate 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 Methyl 3-methoxybutanoate (CAS 3136-17-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H12O3, MW 132.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Methyl 3-methoxybutanoate (C6H12O3) 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 132.16 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 3-methoxybutanoate 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.
