Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-alpha,4-dimethyl-benzeneacetic acid, methyl ester CAS 1241405-28-6 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Chloro-alpha,4-dimethyl-benzeneacetic acid, methyl ester (CAS 1241405-28-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H13ClO2 and a molecular weight of 212.67 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C11H13ClO2, 2-Chloro-alpha,4-dimethyl-benzeneacetic acid, methyl ester contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 212.67 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
