Chemical Structure

3-Methylbenzylzinc chloride 0.5 M in Tetrahydrofuran CAS 312693-20-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Methylbenzylzinc chloride 0.5 M in Tetrahydrofuran is closely related to a salt form, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-Methylbenzylzinc chloride 0.5 M in Tetrahydrofuran (CAS 312693-20-2), molecular formula C8H9ClZn and molecular weight 206.02 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a salt form, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Methylbenzylzinc chloride 0.5 M in Tetrahydrofuran is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 206.02 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.
