As a certified reference material (CRM), 3,3,5-Tri-tert-butyl-5-chloro-[1,1-bi(cyclohexyl-idene)]-2,2,5,5-tetraene-4,4-dione 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.
3,3,5-Tri-tert-butyl-5-chloro-[1,1-bi(cyclohexyl-idene)]-2,2,5,5-tetraene-4,4-dione (CAS 42933-96-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C24H31ClO2 and a molecular weight of 386.95 g/mol.
Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 3,3,5-Tri-tert-butyl-5-chloro-[1,1-bi(cyclohexyl-idene)]-2,2,5,5-tetraene-4,4-dione is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 386.95 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
