Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 284.35 g/mol gives 2-(4-(Benzyloxy)phenyl)-3-methylbutanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-(4-(Benzyloxy)phenyl)-3-methylbutanoic acid (CAS 121108-85-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H20O3, MW 284.35 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
2-(4-(Benzyloxy)phenyl)-3-methylbutanoic acid (C18H20O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
CATO manufactures 2-(4-(Benzyloxy)phenyl)-3-methylbutanoic acid 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.
