Chemical Structure

methyl 2-(acetyloxy)-2-phenylacetate CAS 947-94-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures methyl 2-(acetyloxy)-2-phenylacetate 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.

methyl 2-(acetyloxy)-2-phenylacetate (CAS 947-94-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H12O4 and a molecular weight of 208.21 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, methyl 2-(acetyloxy)-2-phenylacetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 208.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
