Chemical Structure

2-Acetyl-5-chlorobenzoic acid CAS 115382-34-8 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-Acetyl-5-chlorobenzoic acid (CAS 115382-34-8), molecular formula C9H7ClO3 and molecular weight 198.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Acetyl-5-chlorobenzoic acid (C9H7ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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