Chemical Structure

2-(2-Methoxyphenyl)propanoic acid CAS 91061-46-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 180.20 g/mol gives 2-(2-Methoxyphenyl)propanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-(2-Methoxyphenyl)propanoic acid (CAS 91061-46-0), molecular formula C10H12O3 and molecular weight 180.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-(2-Methoxyphenyl)propanoic acid (C10H12O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(2-Methoxyphenyl)propanoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
