Chemical Structure

3-(3-Chlorophenoxymethyl)benzoic acid CAS 360778-44-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(3-Chlorophenoxymethyl)benzoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3-(3-Chlorophenoxymethyl)benzoic acid (CAS 360778-44-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H11ClO3, MW 262.69 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C14H11ClO3, 3-(3-Chlorophenoxymethyl)benzoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 262.69 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
