Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of 2-[(2,3,6-trimethylphenoxy)methyl]oxirane is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2-[(2,3,6-trimethylphenoxy)methyl]oxirane (CAS 5296-20-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16O2, MW 192.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2-[(2,3,6-trimethylphenoxy)methyl]oxirane (C12H16O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-[(2,3,6-trimethylphenoxy)methyl]oxirane 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.
