The occurrence of Methyl 4-Iodo-3-methylbenzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Methyl 4-Iodo-3-methylbenzoate (CAS 5471-81-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H9IO2, MW 276.07 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of Methyl 4-Iodo-3-methylbenzoate (C9H9IO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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).
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.
CATO manufactures Methyl 4-Iodo-3-methylbenzoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
