Chemical Structure

2,4-Di-tert-butyl-6-(hydroxymethyl)phenol CAS 16373-02-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2,4-Di-tert-butyl-6-(hydroxymethyl)phenol.

CATO supplies 2,4-Di-tert-butyl-6-(hydroxymethyl)phenol (CAS 16373-02-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H24O2, MW 236.35 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2,4-Di-tert-butyl-6-(hydroxymethyl)phenol (C15H24O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 236.35 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.

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.

CATO manufactures 2,4-Di-tert-butyl-6-(hydroxymethyl)phenol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
