Chemical Structure
Description
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2,6-Dimethoxybenzyl Alcohol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
2,6-Dimethoxybenzyl Alcohol (CAS 16700-55-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H12O3 and a molecular weight of 168.19 g/mol.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
CATO manufactures 2,6-Dimethoxybenzyl Alcohol 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.
