Chemical Structure

2-(4-Methoxy-3-methylphenyl)propanoic acid CAS 83026-50-0 chemical structure

Description

2-(4-Methoxy-3-methylphenyl)propanoic acid (C11H14O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

2-(4-Methoxy-3-methylphenyl)propanoic acid (CAS 83026-50-0), molecular formula C11H14O3 and molecular weight 194.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
