Chemical Structure

Methyl phenyl carbonate CAS 13509-27-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 152.15 g/mol gives Methyl phenyl carbonate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Methyl phenyl carbonate (CAS 13509-27-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H8O3, MW 152.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Methyl phenyl carbonate (C8H8O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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), Methyl phenyl carbonate 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.
