Chemical Structure

4-Chloro-2-methylbenzyl alcohol CAS 129716-11-6 chemical structure

Description

4-Chloro-2-methylbenzyl alcohol (CAS 129716-11-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H15ClO and a molecular weight of 162.66 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C8H15ClO, 4-Chloro-2-methylbenzyl alcohol contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 162.66 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.

CATO manufactures 4-Chloro-2-methylbenzyl alcohol 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.
