Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 176.25 g/mol gives 2-(4-Tert-butylphenyl)acetaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-(4-Tert-butylphenyl)acetaldehyde (CAS 109347-45-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16O, MW 176.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-(4-Tert-butylphenyl)acetaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 176.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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-(4-Tert-butylphenyl)acetaldehyde 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.
