Chemical Structure

2-Butylheptan-1-ol CAS 85508-26-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 172.31 g/mol gives 2-Butylheptan-1-ol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2-Butylheptan-1-ol (CAS 85508-26-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H24O, MW 172.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Butylheptan-1-ol is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 172.31 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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-Butylheptan-1-ol 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.
