Chemical Structure

2,3,6-Trichlorobenzyl alcohol CAS 100960-29-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2,3,6-Trichlorobenzyl alcohol is closely related to 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 2,3,6-Trichlorobenzyl alcohol (CAS 100960-29-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H5Cl3O, MW 211.47 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2,3,6-Trichlorobenzyl alcohol (C7H5Cl3O) contains 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 211.47 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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

CATO manufactures 2,3,6-Trichlorobenzyl alcohol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
