Chemical Structure

1-[2-(benzyloxy)-4-methoxyphenyl]ethan-1-ol CAS 879487-01-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-[2-(benzyloxy)-4-methoxyphenyl]ethan-1-ol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-[2-(benzyloxy)-4-methoxyphenyl]ethan-1-ol (CAS 879487-01-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H18O3 and a molecular weight of 258.31 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 1-[2-(benzyloxy)-4-methoxyphenyl]ethan-1-ol (C16H18O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
