Chemical Structure

2,6-Dimethyl-4-propoxybenzaldehyde CAS 100256-36-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 192.25 g/mol gives 2,6-Dimethyl-4-propoxybenzaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2,6-Dimethyl-4-propoxybenzaldehyde (CAS 100256-36-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16O2, MW 192.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2,6-Dimethyl-4-propoxybenzaldehyde (C12H16O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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 192.25 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
