Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl methyl ether CAS 1634-04-4 chemical structure

Description

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

tert-Butyl methyl ether (CAS 1634-04-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H12O and a molecular weight of 88.15 g/mol.

The molecular framework of tert-Butyl methyl ether (C5H12O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

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.
