Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 214.65 g/mol gives 3-Chloro-4-propoxybenzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
3-Chloro-4-propoxybenzoic acid (CAS 76327-32-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H11ClO3 and a molecular weight of 214.65 g/mol.
3-Chloro-4-propoxybenzoic acid (C10H11ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
