Chemical Structure

1,2-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone CAS 3669-47-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1,2-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1,2-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone (CAS 3669-47-4), molecular formula C14H12O3 and molecular weight 228.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 1,2-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone (C14H12O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. 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 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), 1,2-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone 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.
