3,5-Diiodo-4-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-benzenepropanoic Acid Ethyl Ester (CAS 101792-51-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H18I2O4 and a molecular weight of 552.14 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C18H18I2O4, 3,5-Diiodo-4-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-benzenepropanoic Acid Ethyl Ester contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 552.14 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
