Chemical Structure

6-Methyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxylic acid CAS 401573-78-2 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 6-Methyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxylic acid.

CATO supplies 6-Methyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 401573-78-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H12O2, MW 212.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, 6-Methyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxylic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 212.24 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 6-Methyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxylic acid 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.
