The occurrence of Bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-dien-7-yl benzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-dien-7-yl benzoate (CAS 4796-68-3), molecular formula C14H12O2 and molecular weight 212.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-dien-7-yl benzoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 212.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-dien-7-yl 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.
