Chemical Structure

6-Methoxy-2-phenyltetralone CAS 1769-84-2 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 6-Methoxy-2-phenyltetralone (C17H16O2) 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).

6-Methoxy-2-phenyltetralone (CAS 1769-84-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H16O2 and a molecular weight of 252.31 g/mol.

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), 6-Methoxy-2-phenyltetralone 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.
