Chemical Structure

1-(2,3-Dimethylphenyl)-3-(p-tolyl)propan-1-one CAS 898768-77-9 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 1-(2,3-Dimethylphenyl)-3-(p-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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

1-(2,3-Dimethylphenyl)-3-(p-tolyl)propan-1-one (CAS 898768-77-9), molecular formula C18H20O and molecular weight 252.35 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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), 1-(2,3-Dimethylphenyl)-3-(p-tolyl)propan-1-one 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.
