Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-1-(m-tolyl)-1-propanone CAS 57494-03-8 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2-Methyl-1-(m-tolyl)-1-propanone (CAS 57494-03-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H14O, MW 162.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-Methyl-1-(m-tolyl)-1-propanone is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 162.23 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-Methyl-1-(m-tolyl)-1-propanone 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.
