Description
Methyl 2,6-dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoate is a dihydroxy-substituted aromatic methyl ester offered at a minimum purity of 95 % for laboratory and biochemical research. The compound has the empirical formula C₉H₁₀O₄, a molar mass of 182,17 g/mol, and CAS number 16846-10-9. Its structure features two phenolic hydroxyl groups and a methyl ester on a methylated benzene ring, providing a compact building block for synthesis, derivatization, and structure-focused studies. The product is Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH supports research teams that require a clearly identified polyhydroxy benzoate ester with documented composition. Typical applications include organic intermediate work, specialty biochemical exploration, and the preparation of further functionalized aromatic esters. Stated purity together with CAS and molar-mass data simplifies inventory control, protocol documentation, and experimental reproducibility. The solid reagent is intended for professional chemical and life-science laboratories that value transparent identity and convenient small pack sizes.

Questions about Methyl 2,6-dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoate, min. 95 %, 250 mg
What is this article?
Methyl 2,6-dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoate, min. 95 %, 250 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
