Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-Chlorohexanoate CAS 35783-67-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 5-Chlorohexanoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 5-Chlorohexanoate (CAS 35783-67-6), molecular formula C7H13ClO2 and molecular weight 164.63 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C7H13ClO2, Methyl 5-Chlorohexanoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 164.63 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures Methyl 5-Chlorohexanoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
