Chemical Structure

2,2,4,4,5,5,7,7-Octamethyloctane CAS 5171-85-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2,2,4,4,5,5,7,7-Octamethyloctane.

2,2,4,4,5,5,7,7-Octamethyloctane (CAS 5171-85-7), molecular formula C16H34 and molecular weight 226.44 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an organic framework, 2,2,4,4,5,5,7,7-Octamethyloctane is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 226.44 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 2,2,4,4,5,5,7,7-Octamethyloctane under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
