Chemical Structure

2-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-2-yl)acetaldehyde CAS 90401-64-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-2-yl)acetaldehyde is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-2-yl)acetaldehyde (CAS 90401-64-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H12O and a molecular weight of 196.24 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-2-yl)acetaldehyde is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 196.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
