Chemical Structure

Sodium 2-methoxy-2-phenylacetate CAS 63450-88-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Sodium 2-methoxy-2-phenylacetate 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.

Sodium 2-methoxy-2-phenylacetate (CAS 63450-88-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H9O3Na and a molecular weight of 188.16 g/mol.

Sodium 2-methoxy-2-phenylacetate (C9H9O3Na) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
