2-(2-Methoxy-2-methylpropyl)-2-methyloxirane (CAS 1482548-96-8), molecular formula C8H16O2 and molecular weight 144.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C8H16O2, 2-(2-Methoxy-2-methylpropyl)-2-methyloxirane contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 144.21 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.
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.
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.
