Chemical Structure

3-Chloro-2-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-5-methylbenzaldehyde CAS 883520-21-6 chemical structure

Description

3-Chloro-2-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-5-methylbenzaldehyde (CAS 883520-21-6), molecular formula C12H13ClO2 and molecular weight 224.68 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 3-Chloro-2-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-5-methylbenzaldehyde (C12H13ClO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Chloro-2-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-5-methylbenzaldehyde 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.
