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 2-(tert-Butyl)-4,6-diiodophenol, 97% (CAS 60803-26-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H12I2O, MW 402.01 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(tert-Butyl)-4,6-diiodophenol, 97% is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 402.01 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
