Chemical Structure

Octane-2,3-diol CAS 20653-90-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Octane-2,3-diol 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.

Octane-2,3-diol (CAS 20653-90-1), molecular formula C2O2S2K and molecular weight 159.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Octane-2,3-diol (C2O2S2K) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 159.24 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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