Chemical Structure

2,2,7,7-Tetramethyloctane-3,6-dione CAS 27610-88-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 198.30 g/mol gives 2,2,7,7-Tetramethyloctane-3,6-dione distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,2,7,7-Tetramethyloctane-3,6-dione (CAS 27610-88-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H22O2 and a molecular weight of 198.30 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2,2,7,7-Tetramethyloctane-3,6-dione is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 198.30 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), 2,2,7,7-Tetramethyloctane-3,6-dione 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.
