Chemical Structure

2-(2,6-Dimethylphenoxy)ethan-1-ol CAS 16737-71-6 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C10H14O2, 2-(2,6-Dimethylphenoxy)ethan-1-ol contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 166.22 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO supplies 2-(2,6-Dimethylphenoxy)ethan-1-ol (CAS 16737-71-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H14O2, MW 166.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

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.
