(2-Methylbenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)methanol CAS 71203-54-8 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 (2-Methylbenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)methanol.

(2-Methylbenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)methanol (CAS 71203-54-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H10O3 and a molecular weight of 166.17 g/mol.

(2-Methylbenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)methanol (C9H10O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, 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).

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), (2-Methylbenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)methanol 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.
