Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-methoxy-5-(2-methylphenyl)benzoate CAS 1820675-15-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 256.30 g/mol gives Methyl 3-methoxy-5-(2-methylphenyl)benzoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Methyl 3-methoxy-5-(2-methylphenyl)benzoate (CAS 1820675-15-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H16O3, MW 256.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Methyl 3-methoxy-5-(2-methylphenyl)benzoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 256.30 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).

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 3-methoxy-5-(2-methylphenyl)benzoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
