Chemical Structure

3-[2-(propan-2-yl)phenoxy]propanoic acid CAS 844849-89-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 208.25 g/mol gives 3-[2-(propan-2-yl)phenoxy]propanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 3-[2-(propan-2-yl)phenoxy]propanoic acid (CAS 844849-89-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16O3, MW 208.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

3-[2-(propan-2-yl)phenoxy]propanoic acid (C12H16O3) 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 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), 3-[2-(propan-2-yl)phenoxy]propanoic 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.
