Chemical Structure

1-(2-(Benzyloxy)-5-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one CAS 36808-17-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(2-(Benzyloxy)-5-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-(2-(Benzyloxy)-5-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one (CAS 36808-17-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H16O2 and a molecular weight of 240.30 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 1-(2-(Benzyloxy)-5-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one (C16H16O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic 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 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.

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.
