Chemical Structure

1,4-Diphenylbutane-1,4-dione CAS 495-71-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1,4-Diphenylbutane-1,4-dione is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1,4-Diphenylbutane-1,4-dione (CAS 495-71-6), molecular formula C16H14O2 and molecular weight 238.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 1,4-Diphenylbutane-1,4-dione (C16H14O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic 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 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1,4-Diphenylbutane-1,4-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.
