Chemical Structure
Description
4-Chloro-3-cyanobenzoic Acid (C8H4ClNO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. 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. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
4-Chloro-3-cyanobenzoic Acid (CAS 117738-76-8), molecular formula C8H4ClNO2 and molecular weight 181.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
