Chemical Structure

1,4-Bis[(2,5-dimethylphenyl)methyl]benzene CAS 15742-68-4 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.

1,4-Bis[(2,5-dimethylphenyl)methyl]benzene (CAS 15742-68-4), molecular formula C24H26 and molecular weight 314.46 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a polycyclic aromatic system, 1,4-Bis[(2,5-dimethylphenyl)methyl]benzene is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 314.46 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.

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.
