Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-methoxy-4-(2-methylpropoxy)benzoate CAS 3535-29-3 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C13H18O4, Methyl 3-methoxy-4-(2-methylpropoxy)benzoate 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 238.28 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.

Methyl 3-methoxy-4-(2-methylpropoxy)benzoate (CAS 3535-29-3), molecular formula C13H18O4 and molecular weight 238.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
