Chemical Structure

2-Formyl-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid CAS 208940-81-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Formyl-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Formyl-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid (CAS 208940-81-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10O5 and a molecular weight of 210.18 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-Formyl-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid (C10H10O5) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 210.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Formyl-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid 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.
