Chemical Structure

MENTHYL ISOVALERATE CAS 16409-46-4 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.

MENTHYL ISOVALERATE (CAS 16409-46-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H28O2 and a molecular weight of 240.38 g/mol.

The molecular framework of MENTHYL ISOVALERATE (C15H28O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), MENTHYL ISOVALERATE 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.
