Chemical Structure

1-tert-Butyl-3-ethylbenzene CAS 14411-56-4 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.

1-tert-Butyl-3-ethylbenzene (CAS 14411-56-4), molecular formula C12H18 and molecular weight 162.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an aromatic ring system, 1-tert-Butyl-3-ethylbenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 162.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-tert-Butyl-3-ethylbenzene 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.
