Chemical Structure

2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)ethan-1-ol CAS 120-67-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)ethan-1-ol is closely related to 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.

2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)ethan-1-ol (CAS 120-67-2), molecular formula C8H8Cl2O2 and molecular weight 207.05 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)ethan-1-ol (C8H8Cl2O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)ethan-1-ol 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.
