Description

2-((2-Methylbenzyl)oxy)-1-naphthaldehyde (CAS 938308-55-5), molecular formula C19H16O2 and molecular weight 276.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-((2-Methylbenzyl)oxy)-1-naphthaldehyde (C19H16O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 276.33 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), 2-((2-Methylbenzyl)oxy)-1-naphthaldehyde 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.
