Chemical Structure

(4-Chloro-3-methylphenoxy)acetyl chloride CAS 39784-11-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (4-Chloro-3-methylphenoxy)acetyl chloride 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.

(4-Chloro-3-methylphenoxy)acetyl chloride (CAS 39784-11-7), molecular formula C9H8Cl2O2 and molecular weight 219.06 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, (4-Chloro-3-methylphenoxy)acetyl chloride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 219.06 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures (4-Chloro-3-methylphenoxy)acetyl chloride 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.
