Chemical Structure

2'-Hydroxy-4'-methoxy-benzophenone-2-carboxylic acid CAS 4756-45-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

2'-Hydroxy-4'-methoxy-benzophenone-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 4756-45-0), molecular formula C15H12O5 and molecular weight 272.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2'-Hydroxy-4'-methoxy-benzophenone-2-carboxylic acid (C15H12O5) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2'-Hydroxy-4'-methoxy-benzophenone-2-carboxylic acid 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.
