Chemical Structure

2-(4-Butoxyphenyl)ethanol CAS 27078-63-3 chemical structure

Description

2-(4-Butoxyphenyl)ethanol (CAS 27078-63-3), molecular formula C12H18O2 and molecular weight 194.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C12H18O2, 2-(4-Butoxyphenyl)ethanol contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 194.27 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), 2-(4-Butoxyphenyl)ethanol 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.
