Chemical Structure

2-Hydroxy-4-phenylbenzoic acid CAS 4482-27-3 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-Hydroxy-4-phenylbenzoic acid.

2-Hydroxy-4-phenylbenzoic acid (CAS 4482-27-3), molecular formula C13H10O3 and molecular weight 214.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C13H10O3, 2-Hydroxy-4-phenylbenzoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 214.22 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
