Chemical Structure

4-[(4-Chlorobenzyl)oxy]-3-ethoxybenzoyl chloride CAS 1160251-15-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-[(4-Chlorobenzyl)oxy]-3-ethoxybenzoyl chloride.

4-[(4-Chlorobenzyl)oxy]-3-ethoxybenzoyl chloride (CAS 1160251-15-9), molecular formula C16H14Cl2O3 and molecular weight 325.19 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, a polycyclic aromatic system, 4-[(4-Chlorobenzyl)oxy]-3-ethoxybenzoyl chloride is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 325.19 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.

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.

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.
