Chemical Structure

2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1,1-diphenylethanol CAS 109936-21-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1,1-diphenylethanol (CAS 109936-21-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H17ClO and a molecular weight of 308.80 g/mol.

2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1,1-diphenylethanol (C20H17ClO) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1,1-diphenylethanol 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.
