Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl 2-oxopentanoate CAS 88945-69-1 chemical structure

Description

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

tert-Butyl 2-oxopentanoate (CAS 88945-69-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H16O3 and a molecular weight of 172.22 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, tert-Butyl 2-oxopentanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 172.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

As a certified reference material (CRM), tert-Butyl 2-oxopentanoate 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.
