Chemical Structure

1-(2-Butoxyethoxy)ethanol CAS 54446-78-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(2-Butoxyethoxy)ethanol 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.

1-(2-Butoxyethoxy)ethanol (CAS 54446-78-5), molecular formula C8H18O3 and molecular weight 162.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1-(2-Butoxyethoxy)ethanol (C8H18O3) 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(2-Butoxyethoxy)ethanol 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.
