Chemical Structure
Description
tert-Butyl 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)acetate (C13H18O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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).
tert-Butyl 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)acetate (CAS 62381-21-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H18O3 and a molecular weight of 222.28 g/mol.
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.
