Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-(3-methoxyphenyl)benzoate CAS 155061-61-3 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 Ethyl 4-(3-methoxyphenyl)benzoate.

CATO supplies Ethyl 4-(3-methoxyphenyl)benzoate (CAS 155061-61-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H16O3, MW 256.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Ethyl 4-(3-methoxyphenyl)benzoate (C16H16O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 256.30 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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 Ethyl 4-(3-methoxyphenyl)benzoate 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.
