Chemical Structure

3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-methylacrylic Acid CAS 1202-60-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 196.63 g/mol gives 3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-methylacrylic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-methylacrylic Acid (CAS 1202-60-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H9ClO2, MW 196.63 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-methylacrylic Acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 196.63 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
