Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 224.25 g/mol gives 4-Hydroxy-4-(2-methoxy-5-methyl-phenyl)-butyric acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-Hydroxy-4-(2-methoxy-5-methyl-phenyl)-butyric acid (CAS 878725-16-7), molecular formula C12H16O4 and molecular weight 224.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-Hydroxy-4-(2-methoxy-5-methyl-phenyl)-butyric acid (C12H16O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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