6-tert-Butyl-4-methylcoumarin CAS 17874-32-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 216.28 g/mol gives 6-tert-Butyl-4-methylcoumarin distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 6-tert-Butyl-4-methylcoumarin (CAS 17874-32-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H16O2, MW 216.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

6-tert-Butyl-4-methylcoumarin (C14H16O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 6-tert-Butyl-4-methylcoumarin 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.
