Chemical Structure

(2S)-2-Methoxypropanoic acid ethyl ester CAS 41918-08-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (2S)-2-Methoxypropanoic acid ethyl ester 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.

(2S)-2-Methoxypropanoic acid ethyl ester (CAS 41918-08-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H12O3 and a molecular weight of 132.16 g/mol.

(2S)-2-Methoxypropanoic acid ethyl ester (C6H12O3) 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.

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.
