Chemical Structure

(S)-Methyl 2-chloropropanoate CAS 73246-45-4 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies (S)-Methyl 2-chloropropanoate (CAS 73246-45-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H7ClO2, MW 122.55 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C4H7ClO2, (S)-Methyl 2-chloropropanoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 122.55 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO manufactures (S)-Methyl 2-chloropropanoate 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.
