Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(2-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-3-methoxyacrylate CAS 106789-12-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-(2-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-3-methoxyacrylate is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 2-(2-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-3-methoxyacrylate (CAS 106789-12-2), molecular formula C18H18O4 and molecular weight 298.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 2-(2-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-3-methoxyacrylate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 298.33 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2-(2-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-3-methoxyacrylate 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.
