Chemical Structure

3-[(2-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzoyl chloride CAS 1160259-95-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-[(2-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzoyl chloride is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-[(2-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzoyl chloride (CAS 1160259-95-9), molecular formula C15H13ClO2 and molecular weight 260.72 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C15H13ClO2, 3-[(2-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzoyl chloride contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 260.72 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-[(2-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzoyl chloride meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
