Chemical Structure

Benzyl Methyl Ether CAS 538-86-3 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Benzyl Methyl Ether 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.

Benzyl Methyl Ether (CAS 538-86-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H10O and a molecular weight of 122.16 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Benzyl Methyl Ether is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 122.16 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.
