Chemical Structure

(R)-4-Methylhexanoic acid CAS 52745-93-4 chemical structure

Description

(R)-4-Methylhexanoic acid (CAS 52745-93-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H14O2 and a molecular weight of 130.18 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (R)-4-Methylhexanoic acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 130.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.

CATO manufactures (R)-4-Methylhexanoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
