Description

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.

3-(4-Methoxybenzyl)phthalide 3-(p-Methoxybenzyl)phthalide 3-[(4-Methoxyphenyl)methyl]-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone 66374-23-0 (CAS 66374-23-0), molecular formula C16H14O3 and molecular weight 254.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3-(4-Methoxybenzyl)phthalide 3-(p-Methoxybenzyl)phthalide 3-[(4-Methoxyphenyl)methyl]-1(3H)-isobenzofuranone 66374-23-0 (C16H14O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. 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.
