Chemical Structure

3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol CAS 1020-31-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol 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.

3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (CAS 1020-31-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H28O2 and a molecular weight of 228.37 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 228.37 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.

CATO manufactures 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
