2-Methoxypropionic Acid CAS 4324-37-2 chemical structure

Description

2-Methoxypropionic Acid (CAS 4324-37-2), molecular formula C4H8O3 and molecular weight 104.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-Methoxypropionic Acid (C4H8O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 104.10 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

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.
