Chemical Structure

2,3-Heptanedione CAS 96-04-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 128.17 g/mol gives 2,3-Heptanedione distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2,3-Heptanedione (CAS 96-04-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H12O2, MW 128.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2,3-Heptanedione is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 128.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,3-Heptanedione 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.
