Chemical Structure

4-(Methoxycarbonyl)-2,5-dimethylbenzoic acid CAS 109844-67-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(Methoxycarbonyl)-2,5-dimethylbenzoic acid 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.

4-(Methoxycarbonyl)-2,5-dimethylbenzoic acid (CAS 109844-67-9), molecular formula C11H12O4 and molecular weight 208.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4-(Methoxycarbonyl)-2,5-dimethylbenzoic acid (C11H12O4) 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).
