Methyl 3-Methoxysalicylate CAS 6342-70-7 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies Methyl 3-Methoxysalicylate (CAS 6342-70-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H10O4, MW 182.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C9H10O4, Methyl 3-Methoxysalicylate 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 182.17 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
