Chemical Structure

methyl 2-(benzyloxy)propanoate CAS 53346-03-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 194.23 g/mol gives methyl 2-(benzyloxy)propanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

methyl 2-(benzyloxy)propanoate (CAS 53346-03-5), molecular formula C11H14O3 and molecular weight 194.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of methyl 2-(benzyloxy)propanoate (C11H14O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
