Chemical Structure

Propionaldehyde CAS 123-38-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Propionaldehyde is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Propionaldehyde (CAS 123-38-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C3H6O and a molecular weight of 58.08 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Propionaldehyde (C3H6O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

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), Propionaldehyde 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.
