Chemical Structure

o-Tolylacetyl chloride CAS 10166-09-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of o-Tolylacetyl chloride is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

o-Tolylacetyl chloride (CAS 10166-09-3), molecular formula C9H9ClO and molecular weight 168.62 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C9H9ClO, o-Tolylacetyl chloride contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 168.62 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

CATO manufactures o-Tolylacetyl chloride 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.
