Chemical Structure

2-(4-Chloro-3-methylphenyl)-2-oxoacetaldehyde CAS 93290-96-1 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-(4-Chloro-3-methylphenyl)-2-oxoacetaldehyde (C9H7ClO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, 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.

2-(4-Chloro-3-methylphenyl)-2-oxoacetaldehyde (CAS 93290-96-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H7ClO2 and a molecular weight of 182.60 g/mol.

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.
