Chemical Structure

Sodium 2,3-dichlorobenzoate CAS 118537-84-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Sodium 2,3-dichlorobenzoate is closely related to a salt form, a carboxylic acid group, 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.

Sodium 2,3-dichlorobenzoate (CAS 118537-84-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H3Cl2O2Na and a molecular weight of 212.99 g/mol.

Sodium 2,3-dichlorobenzoate (C7H3Cl2O2Na) contains a salt form, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 Sodium 2,3-dichlorobenzoate 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.
