2-Methyl-5-phenylpentan-2-ol CAS 2979-70-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2-Methyl-5-phenylpentan-2-ol (CAS 2979-70-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H18O, MW 178.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-Methyl-5-phenylpentan-2-ol (C12H18O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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-Methyl-5-phenylpentan-2-ol 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.
