Chemical Structure

5-(Hydroxymethyl)-3-methoxybenzene-1,2-diol CAS 81452-34-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-(Hydroxymethyl)-3-methoxybenzene-1,2-diol 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 5-(Hydroxymethyl)-3-methoxybenzene-1,2-diol (CAS 81452-34-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H10O4, MW 170.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 5-(Hydroxymethyl)-3-methoxybenzene-1,2-diol (C8H10O4) 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 the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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), 5-(Hydroxymethyl)-3-methoxybenzene-1,2-diol 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.
