2-((2-Ethylhexyl)oxy)acetic acid CAS 79962-88-2

Description

The occurrence of 2-((2-Ethylhexyl)oxy)acetic 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-((2-Ethylhexyl)oxy)acetic acid (CAS 79962-88-2), molecular formula C10H20O3 and molecular weight 188.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-((2-Ethylhexyl)oxy)acetic acid (C10H20O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 188.26 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
