Chemical Structure

(Benzyloxy)methanol CAS 14548-60-8 chemical structure

Description

(Benzyloxy)methanol (CAS 14548-60-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H10O2 and a molecular weight of 138.16 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C8H10O2, (Benzyloxy)methanol contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 138.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), (Benzyloxy)methanol 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.
