Chemical Structure

4-(3-Hydroxypropyl)benzene-1,2-diol CAS 46118-02-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(3-Hydroxypropyl)benzene-1,2-diol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-(3-Hydroxypropyl)benzene-1,2-diol (CAS 46118-02-9), molecular formula C9H12O3 and molecular weight 168.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-(3-Hydroxypropyl)benzene-1,2-diol (C9H12O3) 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 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.

CATO manufactures 4-(3-Hydroxypropyl)benzene-1,2-diol 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.
