Chemical Structure

1-(2,2-Dimethoxyethoxy)-4-methoxybenzene CAS 68426-08-4 chemical structure

Description

1-(2,2-Dimethoxyethoxy)-4-methoxybenzene (C11H16O4) 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.

1-(2,2-Dimethoxyethoxy)-4-methoxybenzene (CAS 68426-08-4), molecular formula C11H16O4 and molecular weight 212.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(2,2-Dimethoxyethoxy)-4-methoxybenzene meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
