Chemical Structure

2-(2,5-Dimethylphenyl)ethanol CAS 6972-51-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(2,5-Dimethylphenyl)ethanol.

2-(2,5-Dimethylphenyl)ethanol (CAS 6972-51-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H14O and a molecular weight of 150.22 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-(2,5-Dimethylphenyl)ethanol (C10H14O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 150.22 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
