Chemical Structure

2-Hydroxy-2-propylpentanoic acid CAS 3639-22-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 160.21 g/mol gives 2-Hydroxy-2-propylpentanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Hydroxy-2-propylpentanoic acid (CAS 3639-22-3), molecular formula C8H16O3 and molecular weight 160.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Hydroxy-2-propylpentanoic acid (C8H16O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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.
