Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 270.32 g/mol gives 3-Hydroxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-1-phenylpropan-1-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 3-Hydroxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-1-phenylpropan-1-one (CAS 84466-80-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H18O3, MW 270.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
3-Hydroxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-1-phenylpropan-1-one (C17H18O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
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.
