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.
1-(2-(Benzyloxy)-4-methoxyphenyl)ethan-1-one (CAS 52249-86-2), molecular formula C16H16O3 and molecular weight 256.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 1-(2-(Benzyloxy)-4-methoxyphenyl)ethan-1-one (C16H16O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(2-(Benzyloxy)-4-methoxyphenyl)ethan-1-one 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.
