Chemical Structure

2-(Hydroxymethyl)-4,6-dimethylphenol CAS 4397-13-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(Hydroxymethyl)-4,6-dimethylphenol.

CATO supplies 2-(Hydroxymethyl)-4,6-dimethylphenol (CAS 4397-13-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H12O2, MW 152.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-(Hydroxymethyl)-4,6-dimethylphenol (C9H12O2) 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 the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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).

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

CATO manufactures 2-(Hydroxymethyl)-4,6-dimethylphenol 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.
