Chemical Structure

2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene CAS 96428-90-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene 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.

CATO supplies 2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene (CAS 96428-90-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H13ClO3, MW 216.66 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene (C10H13ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 216.66 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene 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.
