Chemical Structure

1-(4-Biphenylyl)-2-hydroxyethanone CAS 37166-61-3 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 1-(4-Biphenylyl)-2-hydroxyethanone.

CATO supplies 1-(4-Biphenylyl)-2-hydroxyethanone (CAS 37166-61-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H12O2, MW 212.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 1-(4-Biphenylyl)-2-hydroxyethanone (C14H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 212.24 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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.
