The occurrence of (2-(Chloromethyl)phenyl)diphenylphosphane is closely related to organophosphorus functionality, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
(2-(Chloromethyl)phenyl)diphenylphosphane (CAS 167706-40-3), molecular formula C19H16ClP and molecular weight 310.76 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of (2-(Chloromethyl)phenyl)diphenylphosphane (C19H16ClP) is characterized by organophosphorus functionality, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (2-(Chloromethyl)phenyl)diphenylphosphane 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.
