2-[3-(2,4-Dichloro-phenyl)-propyl]-6-methoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester CAS 1171923-45-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-[3-(2,4-Dichloro-phenyl)-propyl]-6-methoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester 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.

CATO supplies 2-[3-(2,4-Dichloro-phenyl)-propyl]-6-methoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (CAS 1171923-45-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H18Cl2O3, MW 353.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-[3-(2,4-Dichloro-phenyl)-propyl]-6-methoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (C18H18Cl2O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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.

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.
