Chemical Structure

(R)-2-((4-(2-Methoxyethyl)phenoxy)methyl)oxirane CAS 133397-54-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (R)-2-((4-(2-Methoxyethyl)phenoxy)methyl)oxirane 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.

CATO supplies (R)-2-((4-(2-Methoxyethyl)phenoxy)methyl)oxirane (CAS 133397-54-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16O3, MW 208.25 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, (R)-2-((4-(2-Methoxyethyl)phenoxy)methyl)oxirane is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 208.25 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
