Chemical Structure

6-Methyloctanoic acid CAS 504-99-4 chemical structure

Description

6-Methyloctanoic acid (CAS 504-99-4), molecular formula C9H18O2 and molecular weight 158.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 6-Methyloctanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 158.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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), 6-Methyloctanoic 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.
