Chemical Structure

2-[4-(1-Methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenoxy]-propanoyl chloride CAS 1160257-36-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-[4-(1-Methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenoxy]-propanoyl chloride is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-[4-(1-Methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenoxy]-propanoyl chloride (CAS 1160257-36-2), molecular formula C18H19ClO2 and molecular weight 302.80 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 2-[4-(1-Methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenoxy]-propanoyl chloride is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 302.80 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 2-[4-(1-Methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenoxy]-propanoyl 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.
