Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxy-2-methylpentyl propionate CAS 55109-53-0 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-Hydroxy-2-methylpentyl propionate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 192.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

3-Hydroxy-2-methylpentyl propionate (CAS 55109-53-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H14O2C3H6O2 and a molecular weight of 192.25 g/mol.

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.
