Chemical Structure

1-[1,1′-Biphenyl]-4-yl-2-methyl-1-propanone CAS 6976-20-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

1-[1,1′-Biphenyl]-4-yl-2-methyl-1-propanone (CAS 6976-20-1), molecular formula C16H16O and molecular weight 224.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1-[1,1′-Biphenyl]-4-yl-2-methyl-1-propanone (C16H16O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
