Chemical Structure

Methyl 2,2,4-trimethylpentanoate CAS 71672-36-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2,2,4-trimethylpentanoate 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.

Methyl 2,2,4-trimethylpentanoate (CAS 71672-36-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H18O2 and a molecular weight of 158.24 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 2,2,4-trimethylpentanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 158.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2,2,4-trimethylpentanoate 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.
