3-Chloro-1-propanol is identified by CAS 627-30-5 and molecular formula C3H7ClO. PubChem maps the CAS number to CID 12313. The verified structure is represented by SMILES C(CO)CCl and InChIKey LAMUXTNQCICZQX-UHFFFAOYSA-N. The PubChem molecular formula, SMILES, and InChI match the corresponding structure fields stored for this page.
The name describes a three-carbon chain with the hydroxy group numbered at carbon 1 and chlorine at carbon 3. The molecular formula accounts for three carbon atoms, seven hydrogen atoms, one chlorine atom, and one oxygen atom. The compact SMILES encodes the same terminal alcohol and terminal chlorinated carbon arrangement. PubChem CID 12313 contains no separate counterion or salt component, and the structure record does not introduce stereochemical notation.
For precise catalog identification, retain both locants in the name and pair CAS 627-30-5 with the verified formula and structure identifiers. A shortened chloropropanol label would not specify which carbon bears chlorine or which alcohol is intended. PubChem CID 12313, molecular formula C3H7ClO, SMILES C(CO)CCl, and InChIKey LAMUXTNQCICZQX-UHFFFAOYSA-N provide the matching public identity set. Keeping these values together supports consistent comparison across the page and external databases without adding product-performance claims. Include the complete name and identifier set in a quotation or custom-synthesis enquiry so the intended connectivity can be reviewed directly.
