Chemical Structure

2-Ethylbutyric Acid CAS 88-09-5 chemical structure

Description

2-Ethylbutyric Acid (C6H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

2-Ethylbutyric Acid (CAS 88-09-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H12O2 and a molecular weight of 116.16 g/mol.

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), 2-Ethylbutyric Acid 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.
