Chemical Structure

(2-(Dimethoxymethyl)phenyl)methanol CAS 87656-32-4 chemical structure

Description

(2-(Dimethoxymethyl)phenyl)methanol (CAS 87656-32-4), molecular formula C10H14O3 and molecular weight 182.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C10H14O3, (2-(Dimethoxymethyl)phenyl)methanol contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 182.22 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

CATO manufactures (2-(Dimethoxymethyl)phenyl)methanol 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.
