Chemical Structure

3-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)propanoic Acid CAS 7733-58-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 194.23 g/mol gives 3-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)propanoic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 3-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)propanoic Acid (CAS 7733-58-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H14O3, MW 194.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 3-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)propanoic Acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 194.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
