Chemical Structure
Description
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.
Dimethyl 2-benzylidenemalonate (CAS 6626-84-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H12O4 and a molecular weight of 220.22 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Dimethyl 2-benzylidenemalonate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 220.22 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), Dimethyl 2-benzylidenemalonate 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.
