Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 220.31 g/mol gives α-Methyl-3-(2-methylpropyl)-benzeneacetic Acid Methyl Ester distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies α-Methyl-3-(2-methylpropyl)-benzeneacetic Acid Methyl Ester (CAS 859828-57-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H20O2, MW 220.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
α-Methyl-3-(2-methylpropyl)-benzeneacetic Acid Methyl Ester (C14H20O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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.
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), α-Methyl-3-(2-methylpropyl)-benzeneacetic Acid Methyl Ester 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.
