Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylvaleric Acid Ethyl Ester CAS 7403-65-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylvaleric Acid Ethyl Ester 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.

CATO supplies 3-Hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylvaleric Acid Ethyl Ester (CAS 7403-65-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H20O3, MW 188.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-Hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylvaleric Acid Ethyl Ester is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 188.26 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
