Chemical Structure

1-Iodoheptan-2-one CAS 66446-96-6 chemical structure

Description

1-Iodoheptan-2-one (CAS 66446-96-6), molecular formula C7H13IO and molecular weight 240.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, 1-Iodoheptan-2-one is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 240.08 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), 1-Iodoheptan-2-one 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.
