Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-[(4-formylphenoxy)methyl]benzoate CAS 88630-35-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2-[(4-formylphenoxy)methyl]benzoate is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl 2-[(4-formylphenoxy)methyl]benzoate (CAS 88630-35-7), molecular formula C17H16O4 and molecular weight 284.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Ethyl 2-[(4-formylphenoxy)methyl]benzoate (C17H16O4) 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 284.31 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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), Ethyl 2-[(4-formylphenoxy)methyl]benzoate 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.
