Chemical Structure

3-Methyl-4-phenylbutan-2-one CAS 2550-27-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Methyl-4-phenylbutan-2-one.

3-Methyl-4-phenylbutan-2-one (CAS 2550-27-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H14O and a molecular weight of 162.23 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 3-Methyl-4-phenylbutan-2-one is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 162.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), 3-Methyl-4-phenylbutan-2-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.
