Chemical Structure

(2,4,6-Trimethyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid methyl ester CAS 86745-91-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures (2,4,6-Trimethyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid methyl ester under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

CATO supplies (2,4,6-Trimethyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid methyl ester (CAS 86745-91-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16O3, MW 208.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

(2,4,6-Trimethyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid methyl ester (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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
