Chemical Structure
Description
Based on its molecular formula C6H10O3, Methyl 2-Oxovalerate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 130.14 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.
Methyl 2-Oxovalerate (CAS 6376-59-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H10O3 and a molecular weight of 130.14 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.
