Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde CAS 5417-17-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Chloro-3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde 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.

2-Chloro-3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (CAS 5417-17-4), molecular formula C9H9ClO3 and molecular weight 200.62 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C9H9ClO3, 2-Chloro-3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 200.62 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

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.
