Chemical Structure

3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one CAS 116143-36-3 chemical structure

Description

3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (CAS 116143-36-3), molecular formula C20H13ClO3 and molecular weight 336.77 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 336.77 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.

CATO manufactures 3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one 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.
