Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 190.28 g/mol gives 1-Mesityl-2-methylpropan-1-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 1-Mesityl-2-methylpropan-1-one (CAS 2040-22-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H18O, MW 190.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 1-Mesityl-2-methylpropan-1-one (C13H18O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Mesityl-2-methylpropan-1-one 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.
