Chemical Structure

2-((4'-(Tert-butyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)oxy)acetic acid CAS 1181237-40-0 chemical structure

Description

2-((4'-(Tert-butyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)oxy)acetic acid (CAS 1181237-40-0), molecular formula C18H20O3 and molecular weight 284.35 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-((4'-(Tert-butyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)oxy)acetic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 284.35 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.

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.
