Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)benzoate CAS 1460306-41-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 3-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)benzoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 258.27 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).

Methyl 3-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)benzoate (CAS 1460306-41-5), molecular formula C15H14O4 and molecular weight 258.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
