3-(4-Methoxyphenoxy)propane-1,2-diol CAS 17131-52-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 198.22 g/mol gives 3-(4-Methoxyphenoxy)propane-1,2-diol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 3-(4-Methoxyphenoxy)propane-1,2-diol (CAS 17131-52-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H14O4, MW 198.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

3-(4-Methoxyphenoxy)propane-1,2-diol (C10H14O4) 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 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).

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