2-Chloroethanol CAS 107-07-3 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Chloroethanol 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.

2-Chloroethanol (CAS 107-07-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C2H5ClO and a molecular weight of 80.51 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C2H5ClO, 2-Chloroethanol contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 80.51 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.
