Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-(hydroxy(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl)benzoate CAS 256475-05-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Methyl 4-(hydroxy(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl)benzoate 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.

CATO supplies Methyl 4-(hydroxy(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl)benzoate (CAS 256475-05-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H16O4, MW 272.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 4-(hydroxy(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl)benzoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 272.30 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
