Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 224.30 g/mol gives 2-(2,2-Diethoxyethoxy)toluene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-(2,2-Diethoxyethoxy)toluene (CAS 117516-63-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H20O3, MW 224.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2-(2,2-Diethoxyethoxy)toluene (C13H20O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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 presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
CATO manufactures 2-(2,2-Diethoxyethoxy)toluene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
