Chemical Structure

3-(4-(Chloromethyl)phenyl)propanoic acid CAS 56703-33-4 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 3-(4-(Chloromethyl)phenyl)propanoic acid (C10H11ClO2) 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. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

3-(4-(Chloromethyl)phenyl)propanoic acid (CAS 56703-33-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H11ClO2 and a molecular weight of 198.65 g/mol.

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 3-(4-(Chloromethyl)phenyl)propanoic acid 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.
