4-(4-tert-Butylphenyl)-2-[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfanyl]-4-oxobutanoic acid CAS 331459-69-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-(4-tert-Butylphenyl)-2-[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfanyl]-4-oxobutanoic acid.

4-(4-tert-Butylphenyl)-2-[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfanyl]-4-oxobutanoic acid (CAS 331459-69-9), molecular formula C20H21ClO3S and molecular weight 376.90 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 4-(4-tert-Butylphenyl)-2-[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfanyl]-4-oxobutanoic acid (C20H21ClO3S) contains a steroid core, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 376.90 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
