Chemical Structure

1-(5-Chloro-2-methoxy-4-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one CAS 28478-40-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(5-Chloro-2-methoxy-4-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one 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.

1-(5-Chloro-2-methoxy-4-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one (CAS 28478-40-2), molecular formula C10H11ClO2 and molecular weight 198.65 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(5-Chloro-2-methoxy-4-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 198.65 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
