Chemical Structure

2-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyacetic acid CAS 56979-64-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyacetic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyacetic acid (CAS 56979-64-7), molecular formula C10H12O5 and molecular weight 212.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyacetic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 212.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 2-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyacetic 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.
