The occurrence of Ethyl 3,4-dichlorobenzoate 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.
Ethyl 3,4-dichlorobenzoate (CAS 28394-58-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8Cl2O2 and a molecular weight of 219.06 g/mol.
Ethyl 3,4-dichlorobenzoate (C9H8Cl2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).
