Chemical Structure

Methyl-4-(benzyloxy)benzoate CAS 32122-11-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl-4-(benzyloxy)benzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Methyl-4-(benzyloxy)benzoate (CAS 32122-11-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H14O3, MW 242.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Methyl-4-(benzyloxy)benzoate (C15H14O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 Methyl-4-(benzyloxy)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.
