Structurally, 89-56-5 6GAI2MTV5V 5-Methylsalicylic acid Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-5-methyl- 2,5-Cresotic acid 6-Hydroxy-m-toluic acid 4-10-00-00610 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) AI3-25422 BRN 1909076 p-Cresotic acid alpha-Cresotinic acid p-Cresotinic acid EINECS 201-918-6 p-Homosalicylic acid 2-Hydroxy-5-methylbenzoic acid 6-Hydroxy-3-methylbenzoic acid 5-Methyl-2-hydroxybenzoic acid NSC 38518 UNII-6GAI2MTV5V (C8H14O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 158.19 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
