Chemical Structure

Methyl 6-chlorochroman-3-carboxylate CAS 68281-66-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Methyl 6-chlorochroman-3-carboxylate (CAS 68281-66-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H11ClO3, MW 226.66 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 6-chlorochroman-3-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 226.66 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

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.
