Chemical Structure

(4-Chlorophenyl)(4-ethylphenyl)methanol CAS 844683-42-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 246.73 g/mol gives (4-Chlorophenyl)(4-ethylphenyl)methanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

(4-Chlorophenyl)(4-ethylphenyl)methanol (CAS 844683-42-7), molecular formula C15H15ClO and molecular weight 246.73 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

(4-Chlorophenyl)(4-ethylphenyl)methanol (C15H15ClO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (4-Chlorophenyl)(4-ethylphenyl)methanol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
