Chemical Structure

2-(tert-Butyl)-5-hydroxybenzaldehyde CAS 532966-87-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(tert-Butyl)-5-hydroxybenzaldehyde is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-(tert-Butyl)-5-hydroxybenzaldehyde (CAS 532966-87-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H14O2, MW 178.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C11H14O2, 2-(tert-Butyl)-5-hydroxybenzaldehyde contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 178.23 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(tert-Butyl)-5-hydroxybenzaldehyde 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.
