Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(hydroxy(p-tolyl)methyl)acrylate CAS 115240-91-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-(hydroxy(p-tolyl)methyl)acrylate 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.

Methyl 2-(hydroxy(p-tolyl)methyl)acrylate (CAS 115240-91-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H14O3 and a molecular weight of 206.24 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-(hydroxy(p-tolyl)methyl)acrylate (C12H14O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring 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).

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-(hydroxy(p-tolyl)methyl)acrylate 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.
