Chemical Structure

2-Ethylhexyl Methyl Phthalate CAS 56166-83-7 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Ethylhexyl Methyl Phthalate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 292.37 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO supplies 2-Ethylhexyl Methyl Phthalate (CAS 56166-83-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H24O4, MW 292.37 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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-Ethylhexyl Methyl Phthalate 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.
