N-(2-Ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-2-(4-propylphenoxy)acetamide (CAS 303989-53-9), molecular formula C20H25NO2 and molecular weight 311.42 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, N-(2-Ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-2-(4-propylphenoxy)acetamide is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 311.42 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), N-(2-Ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-2-(4-propylphenoxy)acetamide 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.
