Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-chloromethyl-2,4-dimethoxybenzoate CAS 92492-35-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 5-chloromethyl-2,4-dimethoxybenzoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 5-chloromethyl-2,4-dimethoxybenzoate (CAS 92492-35-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H13ClO4 and a molecular weight of 244.67 g/mol.

Methyl 5-chloromethyl-2,4-dimethoxybenzoate (C11H13ClO4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
