Chemical Structure

Vinyl 2-Ethylhexanoate (stabilized with MEHQ) CAS 94-04-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Vinyl 2-Ethylhexanoate (stabilized with MEHQ) is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Vinyl 2-Ethylhexanoate (stabilized with MEHQ) (CAS 94-04-2), molecular formula C10H18O2 and molecular weight 170.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Vinyl 2-Ethylhexanoate (stabilized with MEHQ) is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 170.25 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.

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), Vinyl 2-Ethylhexanoate (stabilized with MEHQ) 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.
