Chemical Structure

methyl 2,4-dichloro-5-methoxybenzoate CAS 253268-24-5 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, methyl 2,4-dichloro-5-methoxybenzoate (C9H8Cl2O3) 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 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 235.06 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
