About Pivalic acid, 98%

Pivalic acid is a carboxylic acid (Synthesis grade) carrying the CAS registry number 75-98-9 with a typical assay of 98%. With the molecular formula C5H10O2, it has a molar mass of 102.13 g/mol. The IUPAC name is 2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid. It is also known as 2,2-Dimethylpropionic acid or Trimethylacetic acid.

The material typically appears as a solid to semi solid to liquid. Literature values give a melting point of 32-35 °C and a boiling point of 163-164 °C. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from sources of ignition, with the container tightly sealed. Under GHS it is labelled “Danger”, so handle it with suitable PPE and consult the SDS.

Key uses span molecular biology workflows and organic synthesis. Typical end-use sectors are pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Pivalic acid in 100 g, 250 g, 1 kg and 50 kg packs, each shipped with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), and exports worldwide.
