Chemical Structure

4,6-Dimethylheptanoic acid CAS 855898-16-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4,6-Dimethylheptanoic 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.

4,6-Dimethylheptanoic acid (CAS 855898-16-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H18O2 and a molecular weight of 158.24 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4,6-Dimethylheptanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 158.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
