n-Octanal Diethyl Acetal (CAS 54889-48-4), molecular formula C12H26O2 and molecular weight 202.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C12H26O2, n-Octanal Diethyl Acetal 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 202.33 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), n-Octanal Diethyl Acetal 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.
