Chemical Structure

2-(Chloromethyl)-4-ethyl-1-methoxybenzene CAS 85944-01-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(Chloromethyl)-4-ethyl-1-methoxybenzene is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(Chloromethyl)-4-ethyl-1-methoxybenzene (CAS 85944-01-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H13ClO and a molecular weight of 184.66 g/mol.

2-(Chloromethyl)-4-ethyl-1-methoxybenzene (C10H13ClO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; 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.

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.

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.
