The occurrence of 1-(2'-Methyl-biphenyl-4-yl)-ethanone is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
1-(2'-Methyl-biphenyl-4-yl)-ethanone (CAS 56917-39-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H14O and a molecular weight of 210.27 g/mol.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, 1-(2'-Methyl-biphenyl-4-yl)-ethanone is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 210.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
