Chemical Structure

1-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropan-1-one CAS 69673-83-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropan-1-one is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 1-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropan-1-one (CAS 69673-83-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16O2, MW 192.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 1-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropan-1-one (C12H16O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

CATO manufactures 1-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropan-1-one under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
