CATO supplies (3,4-Dimethoxybenzyl)triphenylphosphonium chloride (CAS 63368-34-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C27H26O2PCl, MW 448.93 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a steroid core, organophosphorus functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, (3,4-Dimethoxybenzyl)triphenylphosphonium chloride is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 448.93 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (3,4-Dimethoxybenzyl)triphenylphosphonium chloride meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
