Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(4-chlorophenyl)acrylate CAS 50415-59-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

Methyl 2-(4-chlorophenyl)acrylate (CAS 50415-59-3), molecular formula C10H9ClO2 and molecular weight 196.63 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-(4-chlorophenyl)acrylate (C10H9ClO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO manufactures Methyl 2-(4-chlorophenyl)acrylate 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.
