Chemical Structure

2-Butanol CAS 78-92-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 74.12 g/mol gives 2-Butanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Butanol (CAS 78-92-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H10O and a molecular weight of 74.12 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Butanol (C4H10O) is characterized by 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Butanol 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.
