Chemical Structure

4-Chloro-2,5-difluorobenzoic acid ethyl ester CAS 879093-03-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-Chloro-2,5-difluorobenzoic acid ethyl ester is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 220.60 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

4-Chloro-2,5-difluorobenzoic acid ethyl ester (CAS 879093-03-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H7ClF2O2 and a molecular weight of 220.60 g/mol.
