Diphenyl(phenylethynyl)phosphine oxide (CAS 7608-18-6), molecular formula C20H15OP and molecular weight 302.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, Diphenyl(phenylethynyl)phosphine oxide (C20H15OP) contains a steroid core, organophosphorus functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 13.5, corresponding to approximately 13 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 302.31 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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.
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 Diphenyl(phenylethynyl)phosphine oxide 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.
