Chemical Structure

2-(tert-Butyl)-3,3-dimethylbutanoic acid CAS 41785-81-3 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-(tert-Butyl)-3,3-dimethylbutanoic acid (C10H20O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO supplies 2-(tert-Butyl)-3,3-dimethylbutanoic acid (CAS 41785-81-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H20O2, MW 172.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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), 2-(tert-Butyl)-3,3-dimethylbutanoic acid 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.
