Chemical Structure

2-Mesitylpropan-1-ol CAS 911002-46-5 chemical structure

Description

2-Mesitylpropan-1-ol (CAS 911002-46-5), molecular formula C12H18O and molecular weight 178.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-Mesitylpropan-1-ol is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 178.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

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.
