Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-Chloro-4-hydroxyphenylacetate CAS 57017-95-5 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 3-Chloro-4-hydroxyphenylacetate (CAS 57017-95-5) 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 Methyl 3-Chloro-4-hydroxyphenylacetate (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.

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.
