4-Methylpentanoic acid-d12 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 4-methylpentanoic acid by GC- or LC-MS. 4-Methylpentanoic acid is a short-chain volatile fatty acid that is produced during wastewater treatment using anaerobic membrane bioreactors.1 It is a synthetic intermediate in the synthesis of biodiesel, polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymers, and various organic compounds.
