Chemical Structure

2,6-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol CAS 62285-58-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2,6-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol (CAS 62285-58-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H12O, MW 136.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2,6-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol (C9H12O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 136.19 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), 2,6-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol 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.
