Chemical Structure

Isophthalic Acid, Bis-n-Octyl Ester CAS 4654-18-6 chemical structure

Description

Isophthalic Acid, Bis-n-Octyl Ester (CAS 4654-18-6), molecular formula C24H38O4 and molecular weight 390.56 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Isophthalic Acid, Bis-n-Octyl Ester (C24H38O4) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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), Isophthalic Acid, Bis-n-Octyl Ester 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.
