Chemical Structure

2'-methoxy-3-(2-methylphenyl)propiophenone CAS 898789-13-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

2'-methoxy-3-(2-methylphenyl)propiophenone (CAS 898789-13-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H18O2 and a molecular weight of 254.32 g/mol.

2'-methoxy-3-(2-methylphenyl)propiophenone (C17H18O2) contains a steroid 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.
