Chemical Structure

4-formyl-2-methoxyphenyl benZoate CAS 790-16-9 chemical structure

Description

4-formyl-2-methoxyphenyl benZoate (CAS 790-16-9), molecular formula C15H12O4 and molecular weight 256.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 4-formyl-2-methoxyphenyl benZoate (C15H12O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 256.25 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
