Chemical Structure

1,2,3,4-Tetramethoxy-5-methylbenzene CAS 35896-58-3 chemical structure

Description

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

1,2,3,4-Tetramethoxy-5-methylbenzene (CAS 35896-58-3), molecular formula C11H16O4 and molecular weight 212.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 1,2,3,4-Tetramethoxy-5-methylbenzene (C11H16O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring 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 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).

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.
