Chemical Structure

3-(methylsulfonyl)benzoyl chloride CAS 54857-54-4 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-(methylsulfonyl)benzoyl chloride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 218.66 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

3-(methylsulfonyl)benzoyl chloride (CAS 54857-54-4), molecular formula C8H7ClO3S and molecular weight 218.66 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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), 3-(methylsulfonyl)benzoyl chloride 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.
