Methyl 5-chloro-2-propoxybenzoate CAS 75230-38-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 5-chloro-2-propoxybenzoate.

Methyl 5-chloro-2-propoxybenzoate (CAS 75230-38-5), molecular formula C11H13ClO3 and molecular weight 228.67 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C11H13ClO3, Methyl 5-chloro-2-propoxybenzoate 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 228.67 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.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures Methyl 5-chloro-2-propoxybenzoate 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.
