Chemical Structure

1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-yn-1-one CAS 16616-42-5 chemical structure

Description

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.

1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-yn-1-one (CAS 16616-42-5), molecular formula C15H9ClO and molecular weight 240.68 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C15H9ClO, 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-yn-1-one contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 240.68 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.
