Answer:The molecular formula is C5H10O3 and the molecular weight is 118.13 g/mol. Its structure contains adjacent hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups on a branched five-carbon framework.
Answer:No optical configuration is specified for this product. For synthesis requiring a defined (S)-enantiomer, select a separately identified chiral material with stated enantiomeric purity.
Answer:This formulation has a stated assay of 99% and is supplied as 1 g of solid. It is suited to laboratory-scale chemistry and analytical development rather than ready-made dosing applications.
2-Hydroxy-3-methylbutyric acid is an alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acid containing a hydroxyl group next to the carboxyl functionality and a branched isopropyl side chain. The substance is also known as 2-hydroxyisovaleric acid and has the molecular formula C5H10O3, molecular weight 118.13 g/mol, and CAS number 4026-18-0. This Sigma-Aldrich 99% grade material is supplied as a solid in a 1 g package for organic synthesis, analytical method development, and studies involving alpha-hydroxy acid chemistry. The reagent can be used in transformations of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups and in chiral separation method development, including cyclodextrin-assisted capillary electrophoresis. Its product identity does not specify an individual optical isomer, so it should not be substituted for a designated (S)- or (R)-enantiomer when stereochemical purity is critical. Define reaction scale, solvent, and analytical controls before use, and consult the safety data sheet for handling.
Unless otherwise stated, the minimum order amount is USD 1,000.
For orders below USD 1,000, an additional handling fee may apply, or we may arrange local delivery / local handover where available.
