As a certified reference material (CRM), 3,4-Dimethoxybenzoic anhydride 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.
3,4-Dimethoxybenzoic anhydride (CAS 24824-54-2), molecular formula C18H18O7 and molecular weight 346.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 3,4-Dimethoxybenzoic anhydride (C18H18O7) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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.
