Chemical Structure

Sodium 3-chlorobenzoate CAS 17264-88-9 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, Sodium 3-chlorobenzoate (C7H4ClO2Na) contains a salt form, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.5, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 178.55 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Sodium 3-chlorobenzoate (CAS 17264-88-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H4ClO2Na and a molecular weight of 178.55 g/mol.

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.
