Chemical Structure

tert-Butylhydroquinone Diacetate CAS 7507-48-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 226.27 g/mol gives tert-Butylhydroquinone Diacetate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

tert-Butylhydroquinone Diacetate (CAS 7507-48-4), molecular formula C10H14O2C2H4O2 and molecular weight 226.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

tert-Butylhydroquinone Diacetate (C10H14O2C2H4O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

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 tert-Butylhydroquinone Diacetate 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.
