Chemical Structure

3-(4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl)propan-1-ol CAS 38628-53-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 166.22 g/mol gives 3-(4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl)propan-1-ol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-(4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl)propan-1-ol (CAS 38628-53-4), molecular formula C10H14O2 and molecular weight 166.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 3-(4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl)propan-1-ol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 166.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
