Chemical Structure

Ethyl 8-(3-methylphenyl)-8-oxooctanoate CAS 898751-58-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

Ethyl 8-(3-methylphenyl)-8-oxooctanoate (CAS 898751-58-1), molecular formula C17H24O3 and molecular weight 276.37 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 8-(3-methylphenyl)-8-oxooctanoate (C17H24O3) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 8-(3-methylphenyl)-8-oxooctanoate 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.
