Chemical Structure

1,4-Dimethyl-2-(3,7-dimethyloctyl)benzene CAS 19550-60-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 246.43 g/mol gives 1,4-Dimethyl-2-(3,7-dimethyloctyl)benzene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 1,4-Dimethyl-2-(3,7-dimethyloctyl)benzene (CAS 19550-60-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H30, MW 246.43 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 1,4-Dimethyl-2-(3,7-dimethyloctyl)benzene (C18H30) contains an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 246.43 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1,4-Dimethyl-2-(3,7-dimethyloctyl)benzene 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.
