General description

2-(4-tert-Butylbenzyl)propionaldehyde is categorized under the synthetic fragrance class of compounds widely utilized in consumer products such as perfumes, after shave lotions, cosmetics, etc.

Application

2-(4-tert-Butylbenzyl)propionaldehyde may be used as a reference standard for the determination of 2-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)propionaldehyde in:
  • Human urine samples by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) equipped with electrospray ionization (ESI) source and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode of detection.
  • Deodorants and air fresheners by sonication extraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
  • Scented consumer products by GC-MS as well as GC in combination with olfactometry.

Analysis Note

contains ~ 0.01 % stabilizer (Pyridine/MEHQ : 1/20)
