2-Methyl-4-oxopentanoic acid CAS 6641-83-4

Description

The occurrence of 2-Methyl-4-oxopentanoic 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-Methyl-4-oxopentanoic acid (CAS 6641-83-4), molecular formula C6H10O3 and molecular weight 130.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-Methyl-4-oxopentanoic acid (C6H10O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

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.

CATO manufactures 2-Methyl-4-oxopentanoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
