Chemical Structure

5-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-5-oxopentanoic acid CAS 172167-99-6 chemical structure

Description

5-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-5-oxopentanoic acid (C11H10Cl2O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

5-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-5-oxopentanoic acid (CAS 172167-99-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H10Cl2O3 and a molecular weight of 261.10 g/mol.

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.
