Chemical Structure

3-[(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)methyl]-4-methoxybenzaldehyde CAS 438530-82-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-[(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)methyl]-4-methoxybenzaldehyde is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3-[(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)methyl]-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (CAS 438530-82-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H18O3, MW 270.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 3-[(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)methyl]-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (C17H18O3) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

CATO manufactures 3-[(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)methyl]-4-methoxybenzaldehyde 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.
