Chemical Structure

(4-Octylphenyl)methanol CAS 40016-25-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (4-Octylphenyl)methanol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(4-Octylphenyl)methanol (CAS 40016-25-9), molecular formula C15H24O and molecular weight 220.35 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of (4-Octylphenyl)methanol (C15H24O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring 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 presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
