Chemical Structure

1,4-Di-tert-butyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene CAS 7323-63-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1,4-Di-tert-butyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene 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 1,4-Di-tert-butyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene (CAS 7323-63-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H26O2, MW 250.38 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 1,4-Di-tert-butyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene (C16H26O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 250.38 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
