Chemical Structure

Mono(2-ethylhexyl) Terephthalate CAS 155603-50-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 278.34 g/mol gives Mono(2-ethylhexyl) Terephthalate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Mono(2-ethylhexyl) Terephthalate (CAS 155603-50-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H22O4 and a molecular weight of 278.34 g/mol.

Structurally, Mono(2-ethylhexyl) Terephthalate (C16H22O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 278.34 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
