Chemical Structure

3-(3-methoxyphenyl)propionic acid CAS 10516-71-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(3-methoxyphenyl)propionic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-(3-methoxyphenyl)propionic acid (CAS 10516-71-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H18O3 and a molecular weight of 186.25 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-(3-methoxyphenyl)propionic acid (C10H18O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 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.
