Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-chloro-6-methylbenzoate, 97% CAS 99585-14-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-chloro-6-methylbenzoate, 97% 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 Methyl 2-chloro-6-methylbenzoate, 97% (CAS 99585-14-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H9ClO2, MW 184.62 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C9H9ClO2, Methyl 2-chloro-6-methylbenzoate, 97% contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 184.62 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
