Chemical Structure

3-Chloro-5-(hydroxymethyl)benzaldehyde CAS 1289062-81-2 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Chloro-5-(hydroxymethyl)benzaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 170.59 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).

3-Chloro-5-(hydroxymethyl)benzaldehyde (CAS 1289062-81-2), molecular formula C8H7ClO2 and molecular weight 170.59 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

CATO manufactures 3-Chloro-5-(hydroxymethyl)benzaldehyde under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
