Chemical Structure

1-(2-Hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)-3-(m-tolyl)propane-1,3-dione CAS 420823-80-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(2-Hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)-3-(m-tolyl)propane-1,3-dione is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-(2-Hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)-3-(m-tolyl)propane-1,3-dione (CAS 420823-80-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H16O3 and a molecular weight of 268.31 g/mol.

1-(2-Hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)-3-(m-tolyl)propane-1,3-dione (C17H16O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 1-(2-Hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)-3-(m-tolyl)propane-1,3-dione 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.
