Chemical Structure

Ethyl3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propionate CAS 63307-08-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propionate 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.

CATO supplies Ethyl3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propionate (CAS 63307-08-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H18O4, MW 238.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Ethyl3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propionate (C13H18O4) 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 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
