Chemical Structure

3-[(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)methyl]-4-methoxybenzaldehyde CAS 438530-77-9 chemical structure

Description

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.

CATO supplies 3-[(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)methyl]-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (CAS 438530-77-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H12Cl2O3, MW 311.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 3-[(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)methyl]-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (C15H12Cl2O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 311.16 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
