Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methylbenzoate CAS 1097018-19-3 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methylbenzoate 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.

CATO supplies Methyl 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methylbenzoate (CAS 1097018-19-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H16O3, MW 256.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methylbenzoate (C16H16O3) 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
