Chemical Structure

3,3'-Dimethoxy-5,5'-dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2,2'-diol CAS 13990-86-8 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.

3,3'-Dimethoxy-5,5'-dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2,2'-diol (CAS 13990-86-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H18O4 and a molecular weight of 274.31 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3,3'-Dimethoxy-5,5'-dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2,2'-diol (C16H18O4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
