Chemical Structure

2,2,7,7-Tetramethyloctane CAS 1071-31-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 170.33 g/mol gives 2,2,7,7-Tetramethyloctane distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,2,7,7-Tetramethyloctane (CAS 1071-31-4), molecular formula C12H26 and molecular weight 170.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2,2,7,7-Tetramethyloctane (C12H26) is characterized by an organic framework. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,2,7,7-Tetramethyloctane meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
