Chemical Structure

1,2-Bis(4-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one CAS 51490-06-3 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 1,2-Bis(4-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one.

1,2-Bis(4-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one (CAS 51490-06-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H16O and a molecular weight of 224.30 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 1,2-Bis(4-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one (C16H16O) is characterized by 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.

CATO manufactures 1,2-Bis(4-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
