Chemical Structure

4-(Ethoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid CAS 713-57-5 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 4-(Ethoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid (C10H10O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

4-(Ethoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid (CAS 713-57-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10O4 and a molecular weight of 194.18 g/mol.

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), 4-(Ethoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid 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.
