Chemical Structure

1-(4-Hydroxy-5-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)ethanone CAS 162853-20-5 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 1-(4-Hydroxy-5-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)ethanone.

CATO supplies 1-(4-Hydroxy-5-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)ethanone (CAS 162853-20-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H12O3, MW 180.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

1-(4-Hydroxy-5-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)ethanone (C10H12O3) 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(4-Hydroxy-5-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)ethanone 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.
