Chemical Structure

1-(2,4-Dihydroxy-6-methylphenyl)-2-phenoxyethan-1-one CAS 956239-87-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 1-(2,4-Dihydroxy-6-methylphenyl)-2-phenoxyethan-1-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 358.86 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

1-(2,4-Dihydroxy-6-methylphenyl)-2-phenoxyethan-1-one (CAS 956239-87-5), molecular formula C20H23ClN2O2 and molecular weight 358.86 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

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.
