Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-(1-Methoxy-1-oxopropan-2-yl)benzoate CAS 77959-48-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Methyl 4-(1-Methoxy-1-oxopropan-2-yl)benzoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

Methyl 4-(1-Methoxy-1-oxopropan-2-yl)benzoate (CAS 77959-48-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H14O4 and a molecular weight of 222.24 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Methyl 4-(1-Methoxy-1-oxopropan-2-yl)benzoate (C12H14O4) 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 its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
