Chemical Structure

2,4,4-Trimethylpentanoic acid CAS 3302-09-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 144.21 g/mol gives 2,4,4-Trimethylpentanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2,4,4-Trimethylpentanoic acid (CAS 3302-09-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H16O2, MW 144.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2,4,4-Trimethylpentanoic acid (C8H16O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
