Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-(1-hydroxyethyl)benzoate CAS 84851-56-9 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, Methyl 4-(1-hydroxyethyl)benzoate (C10H12O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 180.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

Methyl 4-(1-hydroxyethyl)benzoate (CAS 84851-56-9), molecular formula C10H12O3 and molecular weight 180.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
