Chemical Structure

3,4-Dimethylhexane-3,4-diol CAS 1185-02-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 372.89 g/mol gives 3,4-Dimethylhexane-3,4-diol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 3,4-Dimethylhexane-3,4-diol (CAS 1185-02-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8Cl6O2, MW 372.89 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

3,4-Dimethylhexane-3,4-diol (C10H8Cl6O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3,4-Dimethylhexane-3,4-diol 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.
