Chemical Structure

(3-Methoxy-4-((4-methylbenzyl)oxy)phenyl)methanol CAS 690967-21-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (3-Methoxy-4-((4-methylbenzyl)oxy)phenyl)methanol.

(3-Methoxy-4-((4-methylbenzyl)oxy)phenyl)methanol (CAS 690967-21-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H18O3 and a molecular weight of 258.31 g/mol.

Structurally, (3-Methoxy-4-((4-methylbenzyl)oxy)phenyl)methanol (C16H18O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 258.31 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
