2-(4-Methylbenzyl)succinic acid CAS 6315-21-5

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(4-Methylbenzyl)succinic acid 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.

2-(4-Methylbenzyl)succinic acid (CAS 6315-21-5), molecular formula C12H14O4 and molecular weight 222.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C12H14O4, 2-(4-Methylbenzyl)succinic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 222.24 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
