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.
4-(1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-hydroxy-2-propyl)phenol (CAS 836-79-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H6F6O2 and a molecular weight of 260.13 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 4-(1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-hydroxy-2-propyl)phenol (C9H6F6O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
