Chemical Structure

1-(Tert-butoxy)-3-methylbenzene CAS 15359-97-4 chemical structure

Description

1-(Tert-butoxy)-3-methylbenzene (CAS 15359-97-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H16O and a molecular weight of 164.24 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 1-(Tert-butoxy)-3-methylbenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 164.24 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 1-(Tert-butoxy)-3-methylbenzene 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.
