4-tert-Butylphenyl Salicylate CAS 87-18-3 chemical structure

Description

4-tert-Butylphenyl Salicylate (CAS 87-18-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H18O3 and a molecular weight of 270.32 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 4-tert-Butylphenyl Salicylate (C17H18O3) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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).

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-tert-Butylphenyl Salicylate 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.
