Ethyl Levulinate CAS 539-88-8 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl Levulinate (CAS 539-88-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H12O3 and a molecular weight of 144.17 g/mol.

Ethyl Levulinate (C7H12O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures Ethyl Levulinate 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.
