4-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-4-ylethynyl)benzaldehyde (CAS 475115-52-7), molecular formula C21H14O and molecular weight 282.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 4-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-4-ylethynyl)benzaldehyde (C21H14O) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 15.0, corresponding to approximately 15 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 282.34 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-4-ylethynyl)benzaldehyde 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.
