Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of 1-(5-Hydroxy-4-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)ethanone 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.
CATO supplies 1-(5-Hydroxy-4-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)ethanone (CAS 6948-37-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H12O3, MW 180.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, 1-(5-Hydroxy-4-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)ethanone (C10H12O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 180.20 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(5-Hydroxy-4-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)ethanone 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.
