Chemical Structure

2,6-Mecoprop-Methyl Ester CAS 23844-56-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2,6-Mecoprop-Methyl Ester is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2,6-Mecoprop-Methyl Ester (CAS 23844-56-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H13ClO3 and a molecular weight of 228.67 g/mol.

2,6-Mecoprop-Methyl Ester (C11H13ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,6-Mecoprop-Methyl Ester 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.
