Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 252.35 g/mol gives 3-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-1-(m-tolyl)propan-1-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
3-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-1-(m-tolyl)propan-1-one (CAS 898755-57-2), molecular formula C18H20O and molecular weight 252.35 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-1-(m-tolyl)propan-1-one is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 252.35 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
