tert-Butyl 4-iodo-3-methyl-benzoate (CAS 360059-33-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H15IO2 and a molecular weight of 318.15 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, tert-Butyl 4-iodo-3-methyl-benzoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 318.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
CATO manufactures tert-Butyl 4-iodo-3-methyl-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.
