Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(2-acetyl-4-chlorophenoxy)acetate CAS 100119-57-1 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 2-(2-acetyl-4-chlorophenoxy)acetate (CAS 100119-57-1), molecular formula C12H13ClO4 and molecular weight 256.68 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 2-(2-acetyl-4-chlorophenoxy)acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 256.68 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures Ethyl 2-(2-acetyl-4-chlorophenoxy)acetate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
