Chemical Structure

4-(Chloromethyl)-4-ethyl-2-methylhexane CAS 1497180-84-3 chemical structure

Description

4-(Chloromethyl)-4-ethyl-2-methylhexane (CAS 1497180-84-3), molecular formula C10H21Cl and molecular weight 176.73 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to chlorine substitution, 4-(Chloromethyl)-4-ethyl-2-methylhexane 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), 4-(Chloromethyl)-4-ethyl-2-methylhexane 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.
