Chemical Structure

Methyl4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyl-benzoate CAS 34137-14-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyl-benzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Methyl4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyl-benzoate (CAS 34137-14-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H12O3, MW 180.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Methyl4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyl-benzoate (C10H12O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethyl-benzoate 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.
