Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-4-propylphenol CAS 18441-56-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Methyl-4-propylphenol is closely related to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Methyl-4-propylphenol (CAS 18441-56-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula PtC5H5NCl and a molecular weight of 309.63 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Methyl-4-propylphenol (PtC5H5NCl) is characterized by a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Methyl-4-propylphenol 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.
