Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropanoate CAS 70822-02-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropanoate 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.

Ethyl 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropanoate (CAS 70822-02-5), molecular formula C14H20O4 and molecular weight 252.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Ethyl 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropanoate (C14H20O4) 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), Ethyl 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropanoate 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.
