Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)benzoate CAS 77123-59-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 3-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)benzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Methyl 3-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)benzoate (CAS 77123-59-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H16O2Si, MW 232.35 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Methyl 3-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)benzoate (C13H16O2Si) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 232.35 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), Methyl 3-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)benzoate 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.
