Chemical Structure

2-(sec-Butyl)malonic acid CAS 4372-15-0 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(sec-Butyl)malonic acid.

2-(sec-Butyl)malonic acid (CAS 4372-15-0), molecular formula C7H12O4 and molecular weight 160.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-(sec-Butyl)malonic acid (C7H12O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 160.17 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(sec-Butyl)malonic 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.
