2-Methyl-2-(o-tolyl)oxirane CAS 42432-35-9 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

2-Methyl-2-(o-tolyl)oxirane (CAS 42432-35-9), molecular formula C10H12O and molecular weight 148.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-Methyl-2-(o-tolyl)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 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).

CATO manufactures 2-Methyl-2-(o-tolyl)oxirane under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
