2-Methyl-1-benzyloxybenzene CAS 19578-70-2 chemical structure

Description

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

2-Methyl-1-benzyloxybenzene (CAS 19578-70-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H14O and a molecular weight of 198.26 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2-Methyl-1-benzyloxybenzene is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 198.26 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Methyl-1-benzyloxybenzene 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.
