Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2,2'-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-4,4'-diyl)bis(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol).
2,2'-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-4,4'-diyl)bis(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol) (CAS 2180-30-5), molecular formula C18H10F12O2 and molecular weight 486.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2,2'-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-4,4'-diyl)bis(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol) (C18H10F12O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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), 2,2'-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-4,4'-diyl)bis(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol) 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.
