Chemical Structure

Homomenthyl salicylate(Mixture of isomers) CAS 118-56-9 chemical structure

Description

Homomenthyl salicylate(Mixture of isomers) (CAS 118-56-9), molecular formula C16H22O3 and molecular weight 262.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Homomenthyl salicylate(Mixture of isomers) is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 262.34 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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

CATO manufactures Homomenthyl salicylate(Mixture of isomers) under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
