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.
6,6'-((2-Hydroxy-5-methyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(methylene))bis(2-(tert-butyl)-4-methylphenol) (CAS 90-68-6), molecular formula C31H40O3 and molecular weight 460.65 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 6,6'-((2-Hydroxy-5-methyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(methylene))bis(2-(tert-butyl)-4-methylphenol) (C31H40O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 6,6'-((2-Hydroxy-5-methyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(methylene))bis(2-(tert-butyl)-4-methylphenol) 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.
