Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-(4-formylphenoxymethyl)benzoate CAS 124663-30-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 4-(4-formylphenoxymethyl)benzoate is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Methyl 4-(4-formylphenoxymethyl)benzoate (CAS 124663-30-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H14O4, MW 270.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Methyl 4-(4-formylphenoxymethyl)benzoate (C16H14O4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

CATO manufactures Methyl 4-(4-formylphenoxymethyl)benzoate 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.
