Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 234.68 g/mol gives 3-(Benzyloxy)-4-chlorophenol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 3-(Benzyloxy)-4-chlorophenol (CAS 879094-90-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H11ClO2, MW 234.68 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-(Benzyloxy)-4-chlorophenol is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 234.68 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
