3-Chloro-4-methoxy-5-methylbenzoic acid CAS 62316-29-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Chloro-4-methoxy-5-methylbenzoic acid.

3-Chloro-4-methoxy-5-methylbenzoic acid (CAS 62316-29-4), molecular formula C9H9ClO3 and molecular weight 200.62 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 3-Chloro-4-methoxy-5-methylbenzoic acid (C9H9ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 200.62 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), 3-Chloro-4-methoxy-5-methylbenzoic acid 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.
