The occurrence of 2-Methyl-1-(3-methylphenyl)propan-2-ol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2-Methyl-1-(3-methylphenyl)propan-2-ol (CAS 1754-70-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H16O, MW 164.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-Methyl-1-(3-methylphenyl)propan-2-ol is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 164.24 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.
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.
CATO manufactures 2-Methyl-1-(3-methylphenyl)propan-2-ol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
