Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 160.21 g/mol gives 1,1-Dimethoxy-4-methylpentan-3-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 1,1-Dimethoxy-4-methylpentan-3-one (CAS 66480-84-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H16O3, MW 160.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
1,1-Dimethoxy-4-methylpentan-3-one (C8H16O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
