C19H38O2 298.50 CAS RN®: 112-61-8.-Off-white, crystalline solid.
Assay: Inject an appropriate specimen into a suitable gas chromatograph (see Chromatography (621)) equipped with a flame-ionization detector, helium being used as the carrier gas. The following conditions have been found suitable: a capillary column coated with a 1-µm layer of phase G2; the injection port temperature is maintained at 300°; the detector temperature is maintained at 300°; the column temperature is maintained at 200° and programmed to rise 10° per minute to 300°. The area of the C19H38O2 peak is not less than 99% of the total peak area.
MELTING RANGE (741): between 40° and 42°.
