Chemical Structure

Methyl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate CAS 2150-38-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 196.20 g/mol gives Methyl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Methyl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate (CAS 2150-38-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H12O4, MW 196.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Methyl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate (C10H12O4) 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

CATO manufactures Methyl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate 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.
