Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 286.41 g/mol gives 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-Pentanediol Diisobutyrate (Txib) distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-Pentanediol Diisobutyrate (Txib) (CAS 6846-50-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H30O4, MW 286.41 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-Pentanediol Diisobutyrate (Txib) is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 286.41 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
