Chemical Structure

(E)-1,4-di-p-tolylbut-2-ene-1,4-dione CAS 17342-09-5 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 (E)-1,4-di-p-tolylbut-2-ene-1,4-dione.

CATO supplies (E)-1,4-di-p-tolylbut-2-ene-1,4-dione (CAS 17342-09-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H16O2, MW 264.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of (E)-1,4-di-p-tolylbut-2-ene-1,4-dione (C18H16O2) is characterized by a steroid 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 presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures (E)-1,4-di-p-tolylbut-2-ene-1,4-dione 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.
