Chemical Structure

1-chloro-4-fluoro-2-methoxy-5-methylbenzene CAS 211172-71-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-chloro-4-fluoro-2-methoxy-5-methylbenzene is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-chloro-4-fluoro-2-methoxy-5-methylbenzene (CAS 211172-71-3), molecular formula C8H8ClFO and molecular weight 174.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 1-chloro-4-fluoro-2-methoxy-5-methylbenzene (C8H8ClFO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/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 174.60 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.
