Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-1-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one CAS 22307-94-4 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Chloro-1-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 184.62 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.

2-Chloro-1-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one (CAS 22307-94-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H9ClO2 and a molecular weight of 184.62 g/mol.

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.
