Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3-[4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl]propionate CAS 107859-98-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 3-[4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl]propionate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl 3-[4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl]propionate (CAS 107859-98-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H16O3 and a molecular weight of 208.25 g/mol.

Ethyl 3-[4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl]propionate (C12H16O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
