Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-chloro-4-methoxy-5-(methylsulfonyl)benzoate CAS 2119117-61-0 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 3-chloro-4-methoxy-5-(methylsulfonyl)benzoate (CAS 2119117-61-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H11ClO5S and a molecular weight of 278.71 g/mol.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 3-chloro-4-methoxy-5-(methylsulfonyl)benzoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 278.71 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 3-chloro-4-methoxy-5-(methylsulfonyl)benzoate 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.
