Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 194.18 g/mol gives Methyl 3-Formyl-2-methoxybenzoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Methyl 3-Formyl-2-methoxybenzoate (CAS 186312-96-9), molecular formula C10H10O4 and molecular weight 194.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Methyl 3-Formyl-2-methoxybenzoate (C10H10O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 3-Formyl-2-methoxybenzoate 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.
