3-[(4-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzaldehyde CAS 40359-58-8 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 3-[(4-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzaldehyde (CAS 40359-58-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H14O2, MW 226.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, 3-[(4-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzaldehyde is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 226.27 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.

CATO manufactures 3-[(4-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzaldehyde under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
