Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of Methyl 2-(3-chloro-4-methylphenyl)-2-oxoacetate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Methyl 2-(3-chloro-4-methylphenyl)-2-oxoacetate (CAS 1379360-45-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H9ClO3, MW 212.63 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C10H9ClO3, Methyl 2-(3-chloro-4-methylphenyl)-2-oxoacetate 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 212.63 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
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.
