Tert-butyl 4-(benzyloxy)-3,5-dichlorobenzoate (CAS 2484889-07-6), molecular formula C18H18Cl2O3 and molecular weight 353.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Tert-butyl 4-(benzyloxy)-3,5-dichlorobenzoate (C18H18Cl2O3) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. 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.
