Chemical Structure

2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-ethylphenol CAS 4130-42-1 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-ethylphenol (CAS 4130-42-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H26O, MW 234.38 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-ethylphenol (C16H26O) 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO manufactures 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-ethylphenol 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.
