The occurrence of 2-(Iodomethyl)oxolane is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2-(Iodomethyl)oxolane (CAS 5831-70-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H9IO, MW 212.03 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, 2-(Iodomethyl)oxolane is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 212.03 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Iodomethyl)oxolane 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.
