Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-Iodo-4-methylbenzoate CAS 90347-66-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 3-Iodo-4-methylbenzoate.

Methyl 3-Iodo-4-methylbenzoate (CAS 90347-66-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H9IO2 and a molecular weight of 276.07 g/mol.

Structurally, Methyl 3-Iodo-4-methylbenzoate (C9H9IO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 276.07 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
