Chemical Structure

(-)-2-Methyl-Isoborneol CAS 68330-43-8 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

(-)-2-Methyl-Isoborneol (CAS 68330-43-8), molecular formula C11H20O and molecular weight 168.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (-)-2-Methyl-Isoborneol is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.28 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.

CATO manufactures (-)-2-Methyl-Isoborneol 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.
