2,2-Bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)propane CAS 79-97-0 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 2,2-Bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)propane.

2,2-Bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)propane (CAS 79-97-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H20O2 and a molecular weight of 256.34 g/mol.

Structurally, 2,2-Bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)propane (C17H20O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 256.34 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.

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 2,2-Bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)propane 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.
