Quality Control

Our 4-(Benzyloxy)-3-Chlorobenzaldehyde is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is light-sensitive and should be stored away from direct light. Due to its aldehyde functionality, it is also easily oxidized and should be handled under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage.
