Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-4-yl)-2-methoxyethan-1-one.
1-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-4-yl)-2-methoxyethan-1-one (CAS 96187-87-0), molecular formula C15H14O2 and molecular weight 226.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 1-([1,1'-Biphenyl]-4-yl)-2-methoxyethan-1-one (C15H14O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 226.27 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
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.
