4-(4-Carboxyphenyl)-2-methoxyphenol CAS 189161-82-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 244.24 g/mol gives 4-(4-Carboxyphenyl)-2-methoxyphenol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 4-(4-Carboxyphenyl)-2-methoxyphenol (CAS 189161-82-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H12O4, MW 244.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

4-(4-Carboxyphenyl)-2-methoxyphenol (C14H12O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 4-(4-Carboxyphenyl)-2-methoxyphenol 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.
