Chemical Structure

1-(P-tolyl)propan-2-ol CAS 5040-23-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 150.22 g/mol gives 1-(P-tolyl)propan-2-ol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

1-(P-tolyl)propan-2-ol (CAS 5040-23-3), molecular formula C10H14O and molecular weight 150.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 1-(P-tolyl)propan-2-ol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 150.22 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).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
