Chemical Structure
Description
Methyl 2,6-dichlorobenzoate (C8H6Cl2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Methyl 2,6-dichlorobenzoate (CAS 14920-87-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H6Cl2O2 and a molecular weight of 205.04 g/mol.
