2-[(2-methylphenyl)methyl]butanoic acid CAS 152686-07-2

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-[(2-methylphenyl)methyl]butanoic acid.

CATO supplies 2-[(2-methylphenyl)methyl]butanoic acid (CAS 152686-07-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16O2, MW 192.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C12H16O2, 2-[(2-methylphenyl)methyl]butanoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 192.25 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), 2-[(2-methylphenyl)methyl]butanoic 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.
