3,4-Methylenedioxyacetophenone CAS 3162-29-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 3,4-Methylenedioxyacetophenone 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.

3,4-Methylenedioxyacetophenone (CAS 3162-29-6), molecular formula C9H8O3 and molecular weight 164.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3,4-Methylenedioxyacetophenone (C9H8O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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