Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-2-(p-tolyl)-1,3-dioxolane CAS 6135-56-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Methyl-2-(p-tolyl)-1,3-dioxolane is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Methyl-2-(p-tolyl)-1,3-dioxolane (CAS 6135-56-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H14O2 and a molecular weight of 178.23 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-Methyl-2-(p-tolyl)-1,3-dioxolane is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 178.23 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.
