Chemical Structure

Diethyl (hydroxy(p-tolyl)methyl)phosphonate CAS 79158-40-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

Diethyl (hydroxy(p-tolyl)methyl)phosphonate (CAS 79158-40-0), molecular formula C12H19O4P and molecular weight 258.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a phosphate ester group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Diethyl (hydroxy(p-tolyl)methyl)phosphonate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 258.25 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).

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.
