Chemical Structure
Description
As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-tert-butyl-3-chlorobenzoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
4-tert-butyl-3-chlorobenzoic acid (CAS 1515-20-4), molecular formula C11H13ClO2 and molecular weight 212.67 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
4-tert-butyl-3-chlorobenzoic acid (C11H13ClO2) 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, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
