Chemical Structure

3-Iodo-5-methylbenzaldehyde CAS 1261585-04-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Iodo-5-methylbenzaldehyde.

3-Iodo-5-methylbenzaldehyde (CAS 1261585-04-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H7IO and a molecular weight of 246.05 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Iodo-5-methylbenzaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 246.05 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 3-Iodo-5-methylbenzaldehyde 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.
