Chemical Structure

3,3',5,5'-Tetramethyl-2,2'-biphenol CAS 26567-10-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 242.31 g/mol gives 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethyl-2,2'-biphenol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3,3',5,5'-Tetramethyl-2,2'-biphenol (CAS 26567-10-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H18O2 and a molecular weight of 242.31 g/mol.

3,3',5,5'-Tetramethyl-2,2'-biphenol (C16H18O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethyl-2,2'-biphenol 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.
