Chemical Structure

2,6-Diiodo-4-methylphenol CAS 2432-18-0 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies 2,6-Diiodo-4-methylphenol (CAS 2432-18-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H6I2O, MW 359.93 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2,6-Diiodo-4-methylphenol (C7H6I2O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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).

CATO manufactures 2,6-Diiodo-4-methylphenol 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.
