Chemical Structure

(3-Chloro-2-methylphenyl)methanol CAS 90369-75-8 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures (3-Chloro-2-methylphenyl)methanol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

CATO supplies (3-Chloro-2-methylphenyl)methanol (CAS 90369-75-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H9ClO, MW 156.61 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of (3-Chloro-2-methylphenyl)methanol (C8H9ClO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
