Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 184.62 g/mol gives 2-(Chloromethyl)phenyl acetate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-(Chloromethyl)phenyl acetate (CAS 15068-08-3), molecular formula C9H9ClO2 and molecular weight 184.62 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(Chloromethyl)phenyl acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 184.62 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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 2-(Chloromethyl)phenyl acetate 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.
