Chemical Structure

Ethyl 7-oxo-7-(p-tolyl)heptanoate CAS 122115-49-5 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies Ethyl 7-oxo-7-(p-tolyl)heptanoate (CAS 122115-49-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H22O3, MW 262.34 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C16H22O3, Ethyl 7-oxo-7-(p-tolyl)heptanoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 262.34 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
