Chemical Structure

5-(Chloromethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene CAS 18775-42-3 chemical structure

Description

Owing to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 5-(Chloromethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 166.65 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

5-(Chloromethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene (CAS 18775-42-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H11Cl and a molecular weight of 166.65 g/mol.
