Chemical Structure

Potassium 2-Ethylhexanoate CAS 3164-85-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Potassium 2-Ethylhexanoate 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.

Potassium 2-Ethylhexanoate (CAS 3164-85-0), molecular formula C8H15O2K and molecular weight 182.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Potassium 2-Ethylhexanoate (C8H15O2K) 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.

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), Potassium 2-Ethylhexanoate 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.
