Phenyl(2,4,5-trimethylphenyl)methanone (CAS 52890-52-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H16O and a molecular weight of 224.30 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C16H16O, Phenyl(2,4,5-trimethylphenyl)methanone contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 224.30 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.
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.
