Chemical Structure

2-[(4-Methylphenyl)methylidene]-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-1,3-dione CAS 15875-51-1 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-[(4-Methylphenyl)methylidene]-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-1,3-dione is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 248.28 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.

2-[(4-Methylphenyl)methylidene]-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-1,3-dione (CAS 15875-51-1), molecular formula C17H12O2 and molecular weight 248.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-[(4-Methylphenyl)methylidene]-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-1,3-dione 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.
