4-Chloro-3-methylbenzyl alcohol CAS 131271-19-7 chemical structure

Description

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

4-Chloro-3-methylbenzyl alcohol (CAS 131271-19-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H9ClO and a molecular weight of 156.61 g/mol.

4-Chloro-3-methylbenzyl alcohol (C8H9ClO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; 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).

CATO manufactures 4-Chloro-3-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.
