Chemical Structure

3-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)propanoyl chloride CAS 26801-37-6 chemical structure

Description

3-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)propanoyl chloride (CAS 26801-37-6), molecular formula C11H13ClO and molecular weight 196.67 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)propanoyl chloride is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 196.67 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.

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), 3-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)propanoyl chloride 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.
