2-(4-(Methoxycarbonyl)bicyclo[2.2.2]Octan-1-yl)acetic acid (CAS 1838668-75-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H18O4 and a molecular weight of 226.27 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-(4-(Methoxycarbonyl)bicyclo[2.2.2]Octan-1-yl)acetic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 226.27 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).
CATO manufactures 2-(4-(Methoxycarbonyl)bicyclo[2.2.2]Octan-1-yl)acetic acid 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.
