Chemical Structure

3-Methyl-2-butanol CAS 598-75-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Methyl-2-butanol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-Methyl-2-butanol (CAS 598-75-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H12O and a molecular weight of 88.15 g/mol.

Structurally, 3-Methyl-2-butanol (C5H12O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0.0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 88.15 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

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.
