Ethyl 2-(2-isopropyl-5-methylphenoxy)acetate (CAS 65101-72-6), molecular formula C14H20O3 and molecular weight 236.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Ethyl 2-(2-isopropyl-5-methylphenoxy)acetate (C14H20O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).
CATO manufactures Ethyl 2-(2-isopropyl-5-methylphenoxy)acetate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
