Chemical Structure

4,5-Dichlorophthalimide CAS 15997-89-4 chemical structure

Description

4,5-Dichlorophthalimide (CAS 15997-89-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H9Cl2NO2 and a molecular weight of 222.07 g/mol.

Structurally, 4,5-Dichlorophthalimide (C8H9Cl2NO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 222.07 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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-Dichlorophthalimide 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.
