Chemical Structure

1-(3,5-Dichlorophenyl)biguanide hydrochloride CAS 175205-04-6 chemical structure

Description

1-(3,5-Dichlorophenyl)biguanide hydrochloride (CAS 175205-04-6), molecular formula C8H9Cl2N5HCl and molecular weight 282.55 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, 1-(3,5-Dichlorophenyl)biguanide hydrochloride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 282.55 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
