Chemical Structure

Mecoprop-2-Ethylhexyl Ester CAS 71526-69-7 chemical structure

Description

Mecoprop-2-Ethylhexyl Ester (CAS 71526-69-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H27ClO3 and a molecular weight of 326.86 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Mecoprop-2-Ethylhexyl Ester is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 326.86 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).

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 Mecoprop-2-Ethylhexyl Ester 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.
