Chemical Structure

2-Hydroxycinnamaldehyde CAS 3541-42-2 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.

CATO supplies 2-Hydroxycinnamaldehyde (CAS 3541-42-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H8O2, MW 148.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-Hydroxycinnamaldehyde (C9H8O2) 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 the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Hydroxycinnamaldehyde 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.
