Chemical Structure

2-[4-(carboxymethyl)phenoxy]acetic acid CAS 52299-08-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-[4-(carboxymethyl)phenoxy]acetic acid 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.

CATO supplies 2-[4-(carboxymethyl)phenoxy]acetic acid (CAS 52299-08-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H10O5, MW 210.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2-[4-(carboxymethyl)phenoxy]acetic acid (C10H10O5) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 210.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-[4-(carboxymethyl)phenoxy]acetic 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.
