Chemical Structure

2-Methylhexanoic Acid CAS 4536-23-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Methylhexanoic Acid 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.

2-Methylhexanoic Acid (CAS 4536-23-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H14O2 and a molecular weight of 130.18 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-Methylhexanoic Acid (C7H14O2) 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 130.18 g/mol, it falls into the low-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-Methylhexanoic 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.
