Chemical Structure

2-Ethyl-1,4-dimethoxybenzene CAS 1199-08-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Ethyl-1,4-dimethoxybenzene 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.

2-Ethyl-1,4-dimethoxybenzene (CAS 1199-08-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H14O2 and a molecular weight of 166.22 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-Ethyl-1,4-dimethoxybenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 166.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), 2-Ethyl-1,4-dimethoxybenzene 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.
