Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-3-oxopropanoic acid CAS 6236-08-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Methyl-3-oxopropanoic acid.

2-Methyl-3-oxopropanoic acid (CAS 6236-08-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H6O3 and a molecular weight of 102.09 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Methyl-3-oxopropanoic acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 102.09 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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

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.
