Chemical Structure

2-Ethoxy-5-propylbenzaldehyde CAS 883540-80-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Ethoxy-5-propylbenzaldehyde is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Ethoxy-5-propylbenzaldehyde (CAS 883540-80-5), molecular formula C12H16O2 and molecular weight 192.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Ethoxy-5-propylbenzaldehyde (C12H16O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Ethoxy-5-propylbenzaldehyde 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.
