Chemical Structure

5-Methyl-1-heptanol CAS 7212-53-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 130.23 g/mol gives 5-Methyl-1-heptanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

5-Methyl-1-heptanol (CAS 7212-53-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H18O and a molecular weight of 130.23 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C8H18O, 5-Methyl-1-heptanol contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 130.23 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.
