Chemical Structure

3-(3-Methoxycarbonylphenyl)benzoic acid CAS 893736-81-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 256.25 g/mol gives 3-(3-Methoxycarbonylphenyl)benzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-(3-Methoxycarbonylphenyl)benzoic acid (CAS 893736-81-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H12O4 and a molecular weight of 256.25 g/mol.

3-(3-Methoxycarbonylphenyl)benzoic acid (C15H12O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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.

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 3-(3-Methoxycarbonylphenyl)benzoic acid 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.
