Chemical Structure

4-Benzyloxy-2,3-dimethylbenzyl alcohol CAS 2244107-71-7 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 4-Benzyloxy-2,3-dimethylbenzyl alcohol.

CATO supplies 4-Benzyloxy-2,3-dimethylbenzyl alcohol (CAS 2244107-71-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H18O2, MW 242.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

4-Benzyloxy-2,3-dimethylbenzyl alcohol (C16H18O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

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.
