The occurrence of 2-ethyl-4-methylpentane-1,3-diol 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.
CATO supplies 2-ethyl-4-methylpentane-1,3-diol (CAS CATO-C4X-32512), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H18O2, MW 146.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2-ethyl-4-methylpentane-1,3-diol (C8H18O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
