Chemical Structure

4-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethynyl]phenol CAS 22608-45-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 210.23 g/mol gives 4-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethynyl]phenol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 4-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethynyl]phenol (CAS 22608-45-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H10O2, MW 210.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 4-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethynyl]phenol (C14H10O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
