3-[(2-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzaldehyde CAS 590350-87-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-[(2-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzaldehyde.

3-[(2-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzaldehyde (CAS 590350-87-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H14O2 and a molecular weight of 226.27 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C15H14O2, 3-[(2-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzaldehyde contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 226.27 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzaldehyde 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.
