The occurrence of (2-Chloro-5-methylphenyl)phosphonic acid is closely related to a phosphonate group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
(2-Chloro-5-methylphenyl)phosphonic acid (CAS 99513-11-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H8ClO3P and a molecular weight of 206.56 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C7H8ClO3P, (2-Chloro-5-methylphenyl)phosphonic acid contains a phosphonate group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 206.56 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.
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
