Pentamethylbenzene CAS 700-12-9

Description

The occurrence of Pentamethylbenzene is closely related to an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Pentamethylbenzene (CAS 700-12-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H16, MW 148.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an aromatic ring system, Pentamethylbenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 148.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), Pentamethylbenzene 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.
