Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 148.24 g/mol gives (3-Methylbutan-2-yl)benzene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
(3-Methylbutan-2-yl)benzene (CAS 4481-30-5), molecular formula C11H16 and molecular weight 148.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of (3-Methylbutan-2-yl)benzene (C11H16) is characterized by an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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), (3-Methylbutan-2-yl)benzene 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.
