Chemical Structure

(2-Chloro-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)methanol CAS 20624-89-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies (2-Chloro-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)methanol (CAS 20624-89-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H11ClO3, MW 202.63 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, (2-Chloro-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)methanol (C9H11ClO3) contains 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 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 202.63 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
