Chemical Structure

3-chloro-4-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)benzoic acid CAS 1406477-36-8 chemical structure

Description

3-chloro-4-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)benzoic acid (CAS 1406477-36-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H7Cl3O3 and a molecular weight of 317.55 g/mol.

3-chloro-4-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)benzoic acid (C13H7Cl3O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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 3-chloro-4-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)benzoic acid 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.
