Chemical Structure

Methyl mandelate CAS 771-90-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 166.17 g/mol gives Methyl mandelate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Methyl mandelate (CAS 771-90-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H10O3, MW 166.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C9H10O3, Methyl mandelate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 166.17 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), Methyl mandelate 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.
