Chemical Structure
Description
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 4-(Chloromethyl-2-methoxy)-1-nitrobenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 201.61 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).
4-(Chloromethyl-2-methoxy)-1-nitrobenzene (CAS 68837-96-7), molecular formula C8H8ClNO3 and molecular weight 201.61 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
