Chemical Structure

2-Hydroxybutanoic Acid CAS 600-15-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Hydroxybutanoic Acid 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.

2-Hydroxybutanoic Acid (CAS 600-15-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H8O3 and a molecular weight of 104.10 g/mol.

2-Hydroxybutanoic Acid (C4H8O3) 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), 2-Hydroxybutanoic Acid 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.
