2-Ethylphenanthrene CAS 3674-74-6 chemical structure

Description

2-Ethylphenanthrene (CAS 3674-74-6), molecular formula C16H14 and molecular weight 206.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Ethylphenanthrene (C16H14) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
