Description
Methyl 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybutanoate is a biochemical building-block compound offered at a minimum purity of 95 % for laboratory research. It is identified by CAS number 1361017-70-0, has the empirical formula C₆H₁₂O₄, and a molar mass of 148,2 g/mol. A density of 1,095 g/cm³ is reported, giving users additional physical context for handling and documentation. The substance is supplied in a 50 mg pack size that balances economy with the needs of small-scale synthesis, analytical checks, and exploratory studies. Clear CAS, formula, and molar-mass data support accurate labelling, inventory systems, and experimental records. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this methyl ester fits professional workflows that require a defined hydroxy-methoxybutanoate derivative at research grade. The moderate unit quantity is practical for method development and repeated micro-scale trials without committing to large stocks. Intended for trained personnel working under standard laboratory safety procedures, Methyl 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybutanoate provides a well-specified option when a compact, characterised sample of this ester is required for chemical or biochemical investigations.

Questions about Methyl 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybutanoate, min. 95 %, 50 mg
What is this article?
Methyl 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybutanoate, min. 95 %, 50 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
