2-hydroxypropyl (2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyl) carbonate (CAS CATO-C3D-262377), molecular formula C14H26O4 and molecular weight 258.35 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2-hydroxypropyl (2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyl) carbonate (C14H26O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
