Methyl 2-[2-(Chloromethyl)Phenyl]Acetate CAS 95360-33-1 chemical structure

Description

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

Methyl 2-[2-(Chloromethyl)Phenyl]Acetate (CAS 95360-33-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H11ClO2 and a molecular weight of 198.65 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-[2-(Chloromethyl)Phenyl]Acetate (C10H11ClO2) 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 its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2-[2-(Chloromethyl)Phenyl]Acetate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
