Chemical Structure

4-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)butan-2-one CAS 91374-58-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)butan-2-one.

CATO supplies 4-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)butan-2-one (CAS 91374-58-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16O2, MW 192.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 4-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)butan-2-one (C12H16O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)butan-2-one 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.
