Chemical Structure

2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-oxoacetic Acid CAS 7099-88-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-oxoacetic Acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-oxoacetic Acid (CAS 7099-88-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H5ClO3, MW 184.58 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-oxoacetic Acid (C8H5ClO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

CATO manufactures 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-oxoacetic Acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
