Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-4-(m-tolyl)but-3-yn-2-ol CAS 63079-66-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Methyl-4-(m-tolyl)but-3-yn-2-ol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Methyl-4-(m-tolyl)but-3-yn-2-ol (CAS 63079-66-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H14O, MW 174.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-Methyl-4-(m-tolyl)but-3-yn-2-ol (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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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-Methyl-4-(m-tolyl)but-3-yn-2-ol 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.
