Chemical Structure

Tetra-sec-butyl orthosilicate CAS 5089-76-9 chemical structure

Description

Tetra-sec-butyl orthosilicate (CAS 5089-76-9), molecular formula C16H36O4Si and molecular weight 320.54 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C16H36O4Si, Tetra-sec-butyl orthosilicate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 320.54 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

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.
