Chemical Structure

5-Ethylnonan-2-ol CAS 103-08-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Ethylnonan-2-ol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-Ethylnonan-2-ol (CAS 103-08-2), molecular formula C11H24O and molecular weight 172.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5-Ethylnonan-2-ol is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 172.31 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
