Chemical Structure

2-(Adamantan-1-yl)acetaldehyde CAS 18220-83-2 chemical structure

Description

2-(Adamantan-1-yl)acetaldehyde (CAS 18220-83-2), molecular formula C12H18O and molecular weight 178.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-(Adamantan-1-yl)acetaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 178.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), 2-(Adamantan-1-yl)acetaldehyde 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.
