Chemical Structure

5-(Tert-butyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-ol CAS 577-92-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-(Tert-butyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-ol 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.

CATO supplies 5-(Tert-butyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-ol (CAS 577-92-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H18O, MW 226.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 5-(Tert-butyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-ol (C16H18O) 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 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).

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

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.
