Chemical Structure

3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-methylpropiophenone CAS 898787-58-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-methylpropiophenone (CAS 898787-58-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H15ClO and a molecular weight of 258.74 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C16H15ClO, 3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-methylpropiophenone contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 258.74 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
