Chemical Structure

2,3,4,5-Tetramethoxybenzoic acid CAS 72023-44-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 2,3,4,5-Tetramethoxybenzoic acid (CAS 72023-44-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H14O6, MW 242.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2,3,4,5-Tetramethoxybenzoic acid (C11H14O6) 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 the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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).

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.
