Chemical Structure

2-(5-Methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl)acetic acid CAS 78698-48-3 chemical structure

Description

2-(5-Methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl)acetic acid (CAS 78698-48-3), molecular formula C12H14O3 and molecular weight 206.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-(5-Methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl)acetic acid (C12H14O3) 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.

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-(5-Methoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl)acetic 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.
