Chemical Structure

2,7-Dimethyloctane-3,6-dione CAS 51513-41-8 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,7-Dimethyloctane-3,6-dione 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.

2,7-Dimethyloctane-3,6-dione (CAS 51513-41-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H18O2 and a molecular weight of 170.25 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C10H18O2, 2,7-Dimethyloctane-3,6-dione 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 170.25 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.
