2-Ethylhexyl 2-hydroxypropanoate (CAS 6283-86-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H22O3 and a molecular weight of 202.29 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 2-Ethylhexyl 2-hydroxypropanoate (C11H22O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Ethylhexyl 2-hydroxypropanoate 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.
