Chemical Structure

4-Tert-Butylcatechol CAS 98-29-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 166.22 g/mol gives 4-Tert-Butylcatechol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-Tert-Butylcatechol (CAS 98-29-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H14O2 and a molecular weight of 166.22 g/mol.

Structurally, 4-Tert-Butylcatechol (C10H14O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 166.22 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Tert-Butylcatechol 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.
