Chemical Structure

2-[(3,4-Dichlorobenzyl)oxy]-3-methoxybenzoic acid CAS 938274-94-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-[(3,4-Dichlorobenzyl)oxy]-3-methoxybenzoic acid is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-[(3,4-Dichlorobenzyl)oxy]-3-methoxybenzoic acid (CAS 938274-94-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H12Cl2O4, MW 327.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 2-[(3,4-Dichlorobenzyl)oxy]-3-methoxybenzoic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 327.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
