Chemical Structure

Ethyl (R)-2-hydroxybutanoate CAS 87172-81-4 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 Ethyl (R)-2-hydroxybutanoate.

Ethyl (R)-2-hydroxybutanoate (CAS 87172-81-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H12O3 and a molecular weight of 132.16 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl (R)-2-hydroxybutanoate is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 132.16 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.
