Chemical Structure

1,4-Dioctylbenzene CAS 10541-38-5 chemical structure

Description

1,4-Dioctylbenzene (CAS 10541-38-5), molecular formula C22H38 and molecular weight 302.54 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an aromatic ring system, 1,4-Dioctylbenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 302.54 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.
