Chemical Structure

2-(2,5-Dimethoxybenzoyl)benzoic acid CAS 76526-29-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(2,5-Dimethoxybenzoyl)benzoic acid is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(2,5-Dimethoxybenzoyl)benzoic acid (CAS 76526-29-9), molecular formula C16H14O5 and molecular weight 286.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-(2,5-Dimethoxybenzoyl)benzoic acid (C16H14O5) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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), 2-(2,5-Dimethoxybenzoyl)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.
