Chemical Structure

Methyl Chloroacetate CAS 96-34-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 108.52 g/mol gives Methyl Chloroacetate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Methyl Chloroacetate (CAS 96-34-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H5ClO2, MW 108.52 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C3H5ClO2, Methyl Chloroacetate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 108.52 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl Chloroacetate 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.
