2,4,6-Trimethyl-1H-indene CAS 150096-40-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2,4,6-Trimethyl-1H-indene (CAS 150096-40-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H14, MW 158.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an aromatic ring system, 2,4,6-Trimethyl-1H-indene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 158.24 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.

CATO manufactures 2,4,6-Trimethyl-1H-indene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
