Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-(3-hydroxypropyl)benzoate CAS 15403-22-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 4-(3-hydroxypropyl)benzoate.

CATO supplies Methyl 4-(3-hydroxypropyl)benzoate (CAS 15403-22-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H14O3, MW 194.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Methyl 4-(3-hydroxypropyl)benzoate (C11H14O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 4-(3-hydroxypropyl)benzoate 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.
