Chemical Structure

4,5-Dichlorophthalaldehyde CAS 13209-33-1 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C8H4Cl2O2, 4,5-Dichlorophthalaldehyde contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 203.02 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

4,5-Dichlorophthalaldehyde (CAS 13209-33-1), molecular formula C8H4Cl2O2 and molecular weight 203.02 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4,5-Dichlorophthalaldehyde 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.
