2,2,4-Trimethylheptane CAS 14720-74-2 chemical structure

Description

2,2,4-Trimethylheptane (CAS 14720-74-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H22 and a molecular weight of 142.28 g/mol.

Structurally, 2,2,4-Trimethylheptane (C10H22) contains an organic framework. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0.0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 142.28 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. 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), 2,2,4-Trimethylheptane 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.
