2-(4'-Methyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)ethanol (CAS 131306-69-9), molecular formula C15H16O and molecular weight 212.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-(4'-Methyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)ethanol (C15H16O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
