Chemical Structure

Dimethyl 5-Methoxyisophthalate CAS 20319-44-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Dimethyl 5-Methoxyisophthalate.

Dimethyl 5-Methoxyisophthalate (CAS 20319-44-2), molecular formula C11H12O5 and molecular weight 224.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Dimethyl 5-Methoxyisophthalate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 224.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
