Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 194.23 g/mol gives Methyl 2-hydroxy-3-isopropylbenzoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Methyl 2-hydroxy-3-isopropylbenzoate (CAS 52159-64-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H14O3, MW 194.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 2-hydroxy-3-isopropylbenzoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 194.23 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), Methyl 2-hydroxy-3-isopropylbenzoate 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.
