Chemical Structure

4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-(4-methylphenyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid CAS 70596-90-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-(4-methylphenyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid.

4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-(4-methylphenyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid (CAS 70596-90-6), molecular formula C17H15ClO3 and molecular weight 302.75 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-(4-methylphenyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 302.75 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-(4-methylphenyl)-4-oxobutanoic acid 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.
