2-[2-methoxy-4-(prop-1-en-1-yl)phenoxymethyl]oxirane (CAS 36115-41-0), molecular formula C13H16O3 and molecular weight 220.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2-[2-methoxy-4-(prop-1-en-1-yl)phenoxymethyl]oxirane (C13H16O3) 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-[2-methoxy-4-(prop-1-en-1-yl)phenoxymethyl]oxirane 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.
