Chemical Structure

2-tert-Butylanthracene CAS 18801-00-8 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a polycyclic aromatic system, 2-tert-Butylanthracene is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 234.34 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

2-tert-Butylanthracene (CAS 18801-00-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H18 and a molecular weight of 234.34 g/mol.

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), 2-tert-Butylanthracene 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.
