Chemical Structure

(2',6'-Dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)methanol CAS 691905-27-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (2',6'-Dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)methanol 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.

(2',6'-Dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)methanol (CAS 691905-27-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H16O and a molecular weight of 212.29 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, (2',6'-Dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)methanol is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 212.29 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.

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.
