Chemical Structure

5-Chloro-4-methoxy-2-methylaniline CAS 62492-46-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Chloro-4-methoxy-2-methylaniline is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-Chloro-4-methoxy-2-methylaniline (CAS 62492-46-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H10ClNO and a molecular weight of 171.62 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 5-Chloro-4-methoxy-2-methylaniline is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 171.62 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
