Chemical Structure

[3-(hydroxymethyl)-5-methoxyphenyl]methanol CAS 19254-84-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

[3-(hydroxymethyl)-5-methoxyphenyl]methanol (CAS 19254-84-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H12O3 and a molecular weight of 168.19 g/mol.

The molecular framework of [3-(hydroxymethyl)-5-methoxyphenyl]methanol (C9H12O3) 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 the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), [3-(hydroxymethyl)-5-methoxyphenyl]methanol 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.
