Chemical Structure

3-(Hydroxymethyl)-2,6-dimethylphenol CAS 1806324-52-6 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 3-(Hydroxymethyl)-2,6-dimethylphenol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 152.19 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).

3-(Hydroxymethyl)-2,6-dimethylphenol (CAS 1806324-52-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H12O2 and a molecular weight of 152.19 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.
