2-Ethoxy-3,5-diiodobenzaldehyde (CAS 708272-98-4), molecular formula C9H8I2O2 and molecular weight 401.97 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-Ethoxy-3,5-diiodobenzaldehyde (C9H8I2O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Ethoxy-3,5-diiodobenzaldehyde 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.
