Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-4-Methylaniline CAS 615-65-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Chloro-4-Methylaniline is closely related to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Chloro-4-Methylaniline (CAS 615-65-6), molecular formula C7H8ClN and molecular weight 141.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-Chloro-4-Methylaniline (C7H8ClN) contains a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 141.60 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Chloro-4-Methylaniline 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.
