Chemical Structure

2-(Benzyloxy)-5-(chloromethyl)-1,3-dimethylbenzene CAS 881002-36-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(Benzyloxy)-5-(chloromethyl)-1,3-dimethylbenzene is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(Benzyloxy)-5-(chloromethyl)-1,3-dimethylbenzene (CAS 881002-36-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H17ClO and a molecular weight of 260.76 g/mol.

2-(Benzyloxy)-5-(chloromethyl)-1,3-dimethylbenzene (C16H17ClO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic 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. 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), 2-(Benzyloxy)-5-(chloromethyl)-1,3-dimethylbenzene 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.
