Chemical Structure

(2-(Chloromethyl)phenyl)methanol CAS 142066-41-9 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, (2-(Chloromethyl)phenyl)methanol (C8H9ClO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 156.61 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

(2-(Chloromethyl)phenyl)methanol (CAS 142066-41-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H9ClO and a molecular weight of 156.61 g/mol.

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

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.
