Chemical Structure

2-Heptanoic acid butyl ester (mixture of isomers(E & Z mixture) CAS 52392-62-8 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2-Heptanoic acid butyl ester (mixture of isomers(E & Z mixture) (CAS 52392-62-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H20O2, MW 184.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Heptanoic acid butyl ester (mixture of isomers(E & Z mixture) is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 184.28 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

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.
