Chemical Structure

Sodium 2-hydroxypentanoate CAS 84176-70-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Sodium 2-hydroxypentanoate 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.

Sodium 2-hydroxypentanoate (CAS 84176-70-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H9O3Na and a molecular weight of 140.11 g/mol.

Structurally, Sodium 2-hydroxypentanoate (C5H9O3Na) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.5, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 140.11 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

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.
