Chemical Structure

(5-(Tert-butyl)-2-methylphenyl)(o-tolyl)methanone CAS 50460-53-2 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies (5-(Tert-butyl)-2-methylphenyl)(o-tolyl)methanone (CAS 50460-53-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C19H22O, MW 266.38 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (5-(Tert-butyl)-2-methylphenyl)(o-tolyl)methanone is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 266.38 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
