Methyl 2,3,5-trichloro-6-hydroxybenzoate CAS 111217-18-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Methyl 2,3,5-trichloro-6-hydroxybenzoate 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.

Methyl 2,3,5-trichloro-6-hydroxybenzoate (CAS 111217-18-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H5Cl3O3 and a molecular weight of 255.48 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 2,3,5-trichloro-6-hydroxybenzoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 255.48 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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