Tetrachloroacetone CAS 16995-35-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Tetrachloroacetone (CAS 16995-35-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H2Cl4O, MW 195.86 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Tetrachloroacetone (C3H2Cl4O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

CATO manufactures Tetrachloroacetone 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.
