1-(Chloromethyl)-4-methylcyclohexane (CAS 1073-68-3), molecular formula C8H15Cl and molecular weight 146.66 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
1-(Chloromethyl)-4-methylcyclohexane (C8H15Cl) contains chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(Chloromethyl)-4-methylcyclohexane 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.
