Chemical Structure

2-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-2-yl)-1-phenylethanone CAS 352454-61-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-2-yl)-1-phenylethanone (CAS 352454-61-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H16O, MW 272.34 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-2-yl)-1-phenylethanone is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 272.34 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
