Chemical Structure

3-Methyl-1-(o-tolyl)but-2-en-1-one CAS 602295-87-4 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 3-Methyl-1-(o-tolyl)but-2-en-1-one (C12H14O) is characterized by 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

3-Methyl-1-(o-tolyl)but-2-en-1-one (CAS 602295-87-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H14O and a molecular weight of 174.24 g/mol.

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), 3-Methyl-1-(o-tolyl)but-2-en-1-one 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.
