Chemical Structure

1-(2-Hydroxy-6-methoxy-3-methylphenyl)ethanone CAS 56504-43-9 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 1-(2-Hydroxy-6-methoxy-3-methylphenyl)ethanone is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 180.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

1-(2-Hydroxy-6-methoxy-3-methylphenyl)ethanone (CAS 56504-43-9), molecular formula C10H12O3 and molecular weight 180.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
