Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-chloro-5-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoate CAS 853569-68-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-chloro-5-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Methyl 2-chloro-5-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoate (CAS 853569-68-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H8ClFO3, MW 218.61 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C9H8ClFO3, Methyl 2-chloro-5-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 218.61 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.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2-chloro-5-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
