Chemical Structure

4,4'-Dimethylbenzhydrol CAS 885-77-8 chemical structure

Description

4,4'-Dimethylbenzhydrol (C15H16O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; 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).

4,4'-Dimethylbenzhydrol (CAS 885-77-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H16O and a molecular weight of 212.29 g/mol.

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), 4,4'-Dimethylbenzhydrol 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.
