Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 176.25 g/mol gives 4-Methyl-4-phenylpentan-2-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-Methyl-4-phenylpentan-2-one (CAS 7403-42-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H16O and a molecular weight of 176.25 g/mol.

Structurally, 4-Methyl-4-phenylpentan-2-one (C12H16O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 176.25 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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.
