As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl-5-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3-methyl-2,4-pentadienoate 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.
Ethyl-5-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3-methyl-2,4-pentadienoate (CAS 167637-41-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H24O3 and a molecular weight of 288.38 g/mol.
Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl-5-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3-methyl-2,4-pentadienoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 288.38 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
