Chemical Structure

Phenethyl 2-chloroacetate CAS 7476-91-7 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C10H11ClO2, Phenethyl 2-chloroacetate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 198.65 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Phenethyl 2-chloroacetate (CAS 7476-91-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H11ClO2 and a molecular weight of 198.65 g/mol.
