Ethyl 4-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)butanoate (CAS 6660-36-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H20O2 and a molecular weight of 268.35 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C18H20O2, Ethyl 4-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)butanoate contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 268.35 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
