2-Methoxy-1,3,4-trimethylbenzene CAS 21573-36-4

Description

The occurrence of 2-Methoxy-1,3,4-trimethylbenzene is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Methoxy-1,3,4-trimethylbenzene (CAS 21573-36-4), molecular formula C10H14O and molecular weight 150.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-Methoxy-1,3,4-trimethylbenzene (C10H14O) is characterized by 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 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).

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.
