Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxy-3-(m-tolyl)propanoic acid CAS 1225500-11-7 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Hydroxy-3-(m-tolyl)propanoic acid 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.

CATO supplies 3-Hydroxy-3-(m-tolyl)propanoic acid (CAS 1225500-11-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H12O3, MW 180.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 3-Hydroxy-3-(m-tolyl)propanoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 180.20 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.
