Chemical Structure

2-[(2-Methylphenyl)methyl]oxirane CAS 29270-62-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-[(2-Methylphenyl)methyl]oxirane is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-[(2-Methylphenyl)methyl]oxirane (CAS 29270-62-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H12O and a molecular weight of 148.20 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-[(2-Methylphenyl)methyl]oxirane (C10H12O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 148.20 g/mol, it falls into the low-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.
