Chemical Structure

Mono-tert-Butyl Terephthalate CAS 20576-82-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Mono-tert-Butyl Terephthalate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Mono-tert-Butyl Terephthalate (CAS 20576-82-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H14O4, MW 222.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Mono-tert-Butyl Terephthalate (C12H14O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 222.24 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

CATO manufactures Mono-tert-Butyl Terephthalate 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.
