Chemical Structure

(2-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl)propanal CAS 14807-26-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (2-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl)propanal is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(2-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl)propanal (CAS 14807-26-2), molecular formula C10H12O2 and molecular weight 164.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

(2-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl)propanal (C10H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
