Chemical Structure

4-Iodo-2,6-bis(isopropyl)phenol CAS 169255-48-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-Iodo-2,6-bis(isopropyl)phenol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 4-Iodo-2,6-bis(isopropyl)phenol (CAS 169255-48-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H17IO, MW 304.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-Iodo-2,6-bis(isopropyl)phenol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 304.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

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.
