Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-5-heptanone CAS 624-42-0 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Methyl-5-heptanone.

CATO supplies 2-Methyl-5-heptanone (CAS 624-42-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H16O, MW 128.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Methyl-5-heptanone is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 128.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.

CATO manufactures 2-Methyl-5-heptanone 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.
