4-Methoxy-2,3-dimethylbenzoic acid CAS 5628-61-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 4-Methoxy-2,3-dimethylbenzoic acid 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.

CATO supplies 4-Methoxy-2,3-dimethylbenzoic acid (CAS 5628-61-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H12O3, MW 180.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 4-Methoxy-2,3-dimethylbenzoic acid (C10H12O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 180.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
