Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-Chloro-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one.
4-Chloro-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one (CAS 17422-72-9), molecular formula C6H5ClO2 and molecular weight 144.56 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-Chloro-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 144.56 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
