Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-4-hydroxybenzoic Acid Hydrate CAS 440123-65-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 190.58 g/mol gives 2-Chloro-4-hydroxybenzoic Acid Hydrate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Chloro-4-hydroxybenzoic Acid Hydrate (CAS 440123-65-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H5ClO3H2O and a molecular weight of 190.58 g/mol.

2-Chloro-4-hydroxybenzoic Acid Hydrate (C7H5ClO3H2O) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
