Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-phenoxybenzoate CAS 31994-68-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 242.27 g/mol gives Ethyl 4-phenoxybenzoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethyl 4-phenoxybenzoate (CAS 31994-68-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H14O3 and a molecular weight of 242.27 g/mol.

Structurally, Ethyl 4-phenoxybenzoate (C15H14O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 242.27 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

CATO manufactures Ethyl 4-phenoxybenzoate 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.
