Chemical Structure

9-(4-Chlorobenzylidene)-9H-fluorene CAS 1229-71-6 chemical structure

Description

9-(4-Chlorobenzylidene)-9H-fluorene (CAS 1229-71-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H13Cl and a molecular weight of 288.77 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C20H13Cl, 9-(4-Chlorobenzylidene)-9H-fluorene contains chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 288.77 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 9-(4-Chlorobenzylidene)-9H-fluorene 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.
