Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 3-Methyl-2-oxobutanoate.
Methyl 3-Methyl-2-oxobutanoate (CAS 3952-67-8), molecular formula C6H10O3 and molecular weight 130.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Methyl 3-Methyl-2-oxobutanoate (C6H10O3) 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.
