2-Benzyl-3-phenylpropanal (CAS 22859-80-9), molecular formula C16H16O and molecular weight 224.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2-Benzyl-3-phenylpropanal is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 224.30 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-Benzyl-3-phenylpropanal 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.
