Chemical Structure

2,5-Dimethyl-3-(2-methylphenyl)propiophenone CAS 898789-54-3 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.

2,5-Dimethyl-3-(2-methylphenyl)propiophenone (CAS 898789-54-3), 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, 2,5-Dimethyl-3-(2-methylphenyl)propiophenone 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,5-Dimethyl-3-(2-methylphenyl)propiophenone 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.
