Chemical Structure

2-Benzyloxy-1,3-propanediol CAS 14690-00-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Benzyloxy-1,3-propanediol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Benzyloxy-1,3-propanediol (CAS 14690-00-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H20O3 and a molecular weight of 188.26 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Benzyloxy-1,3-propanediol is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 188.26 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-Benzyloxy-1,3-propanediol 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.
