Chemical Structure

2-(Methoxymethoxy)-3-methylbenzoic acid CAS 27701-27-5 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Methoxymethoxy)-3-methylbenzoic acid 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.

2-(Methoxymethoxy)-3-methylbenzoic acid (CAS 27701-27-5), molecular formula C10H12O4 and molecular weight 196.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C10H12O4, 2-(Methoxymethoxy)-3-methylbenzoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 196.20 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
