Chemical Structure

2-(4-hydroxy-2-methylbutan-2-yl)phenol CAS 40614-20-8 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 2-(4-hydroxy-2-methylbutan-2-yl)phenol.

2-(4-hydroxy-2-methylbutan-2-yl)phenol (CAS 40614-20-8), molecular formula C11H16O2 and molecular weight 180.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-(4-hydroxy-2-methylbutan-2-yl)phenol (C11H16O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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.

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.

CATO manufactures 2-(4-hydroxy-2-methylbutan-2-yl)phenol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
