Chemical Structure

(5-Chloro-2-hydroxy-1,3-phenylene)dimethanol CAS 17026-49-2 chemical structure

Description

(5-Chloro-2-hydroxy-1,3-phenylene)dimethanol (CAS 17026-49-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H9ClO3 and a molecular weight of 188.61 g/mol.

The molecular framework of (5-Chloro-2-hydroxy-1,3-phenylene)dimethanol (C8H9ClO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. 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. 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.

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.
