Chemical Structure

Propyl Benzoate CAS 2315-68-6 chemical structure

Description

Propyl Benzoate (CAS 2315-68-6), molecular formula C10H12O2 and molecular weight 164.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Propyl Benzoate (C10H12O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), Propyl Benzoate 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.
