Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl 2-(4-acetylphenyl)acetate CAS 219320-14-6 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), tert-Butyl 2-(4-acetylphenyl)acetate 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.

CATO supplies tert-Butyl 2-(4-acetylphenyl)acetate (CAS 219320-14-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H18O3, MW 234.29 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, tert-Butyl 2-(4-acetylphenyl)acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 234.29 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
