Chemical Structure

2-(2-Methoxy-3,4-dimethylphenyl)acetic acid CAS 1554535-06-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2-(2-Methoxy-3,4-dimethylphenyl)acetic acid (CAS 1554535-06-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H14O3, MW 194.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-(2-Methoxy-3,4-dimethylphenyl)acetic acid (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), 2-(2-Methoxy-3,4-dimethylphenyl)acetic 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.
