Chemical Structure

6-Methyl-3-heptanol CAS 18720-66-6 chemical structure

Description

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.

6-Methyl-3-heptanol (CAS 18720-66-6), molecular formula C8H18O and molecular weight 130.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 6-Methyl-3-heptanol (C8H18O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
