Chemical Structure

2,5-Bis(methoxymethyl)-para-xylene CAS 1444-74-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 194.27 g/mol gives 2,5-Bis(methoxymethyl)-para-xylene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2,5-Bis(methoxymethyl)-para-xylene (CAS 1444-74-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H18O2, MW 194.27 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, 2,5-Bis(methoxymethyl)-para-xylene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 194.27 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).

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 2,5-Bis(methoxymethyl)-para-xylene 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.
