2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3,4-trimethylbenzene CAS 41380-66-9

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 168.66 g/mol gives 2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3,4-trimethylbenzene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3,4-trimethylbenzene (CAS 41380-66-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H13Cl and a molecular weight of 168.66 g/mol.

Owing to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3,4-trimethylbenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.66 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3,4-trimethylbenzene meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
