Chemical Structure

2-Hydroxypropyl heptanoate CAS 7249-54-9 chemical structure

Description

2-Hydroxypropyl heptanoate (CAS 7249-54-9), molecular formula C10H20O3 and molecular weight 188.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-Hydroxypropyl heptanoate (C10H20O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 188.26 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.

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), 2-Hydroxypropyl heptanoate 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.
