Chemical Structure

1-(3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl)propan-2-one CAS 16603-18-2 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies 1-(3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl)propan-2-one (CAS 16603-18-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16O4, MW 224.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

1-(3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl)propan-2-one (C12H16O4) 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl)propan-2-one 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.
