Chemical Structure

2-Methoxy-4-(methoxymethyl)phenol CAS 5533-03-9 chemical structure

Description

2-Methoxy-4-(methoxymethyl)phenol (C9H12O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

2-Methoxy-4-(methoxymethyl)phenol (CAS 5533-03-9), molecular formula C9H12O3 and molecular weight 168.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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), 2-Methoxy-4-(methoxymethyl)phenol 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.
