Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-methyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxylate CAS 1256482-06-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2-methyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxylate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-methyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxylate (CAS 1256482-06-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H16O2, MW 240.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Ethyl 2-methyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxylate (C16H16O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 240.30 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 2-methyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxylate 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.
