Chemical Structure

3-tert-Butyl-5-ethyltoluene CAS 6630-01-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 176.30 g/mol gives 3-tert-Butyl-5-ethyltoluene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 3-tert-Butyl-5-ethyltoluene (CAS 6630-01-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H20, MW 176.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an aromatic ring system, 3-tert-Butyl-5-ethyltoluene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 176.30 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.

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 3-tert-Butyl-5-ethyltoluene 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.
