Chemical Structure

2-Amino-6-methoxybenzyl Alcohol CAS 177531-95-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Amino-6-methoxybenzyl Alcohol is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Amino-6-methoxybenzyl Alcohol (CAS 177531-95-2), molecular formula C8H11NO2 and molecular weight 153.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-Amino-6-methoxybenzyl Alcohol (C8H11NO2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 153.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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-Amino-6-methoxybenzyl 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.
