Chemical Structure

2-Methoxy-5-(propan-2-yl)phenol CAS 499-79-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 166.22 g/mol gives 2-Methoxy-5-(propan-2-yl)phenol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Methoxy-5-(propan-2-yl)phenol (CAS 499-79-6), 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, 2-Methoxy-5-(propan-2-yl)phenol 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Methoxy-5-(propan-2-yl)phenol 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.
