Chemical Structure

(R)-tert-Butyl 2-acetoxy-3-methylbutanoate CAS 868740-08-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (R)-tert-Butyl 2-acetoxy-3-methylbutanoate.

(R)-tert-Butyl 2-acetoxy-3-methylbutanoate (CAS 868740-08-3), molecular formula C11H20O4 and molecular weight 216.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

(R)-tert-Butyl 2-acetoxy-3-methylbutanoate (C11H20O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (R)-tert-Butyl 2-acetoxy-3-methylbutanoate 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.
