Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoate CAS 52873-25-3 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 4-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoate (CAS 52873-25-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H9ClO3 and a molecular weight of 200.62 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 4-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoate (C9H9ClO3) 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 the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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.

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 Ethyl 4-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoate 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.
