Chemical Structure

3,5-Dimethyl-4-methoxybenzophenone CAS 10472-83-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3,5-Dimethyl-4-methoxybenzophenone is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3,5-Dimethyl-4-methoxybenzophenone (CAS 10472-83-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H16O2, MW 240.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 3,5-Dimethyl-4-methoxybenzophenone (C16H16O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic 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 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).

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), 3,5-Dimethyl-4-methoxybenzophenone 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.
