Chemical Structure

2-Iodo-4,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid methyl ester CAS 173043-61-3 chemical structure

Description

2-Iodo-4,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid methyl ester (C10H11IO4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

2-Iodo-4,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid methyl ester (CAS 173043-61-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H11IO4 and a molecular weight of 322.10 g/mol.

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 manufactures 2-Iodo-4,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid methyl ester 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.
