Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-4-fluoro-3-methylbenzoyl chloride CAS 1058721-62-2 chemical structure

Description

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.

2-Chloro-4-fluoro-3-methylbenzoyl chloride (CAS 1058721-62-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H5Cl2FO and a molecular weight of 207.03 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Chloro-4-fluoro-3-methylbenzoyl chloride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 207.03 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
