Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl 2,2-dihydroxyacetate CAS 73633-07-5 chemical structure

Description

tert-Butyl 2,2-dihydroxyacetate (CAS 73633-07-5), molecular formula C6H12O4 and molecular weight 148.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of tert-Butyl 2,2-dihydroxyacetate (C6H12O4) 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.

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.
