The occurrence of 3-(Chloromethyl)-2-methyloctane is closely related to chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 3-(Chloromethyl)-2-methyloctane (CAS 1479307-52-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H21Cl, MW 176.73 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to chlorine substitution, 3-(Chloromethyl)-2-methyloctane is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 176.73 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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-(Chloromethyl)-2-methyloctane 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.
