1-Chloro-3-(chloromethyl)-5-methoxybenzene CAS 178486-30-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1-Chloro-3-(chloromethyl)-5-methoxybenzene.

1-Chloro-3-(chloromethyl)-5-methoxybenzene (CAS 178486-30-1), molecular formula C8H8Cl2O and molecular weight 191.05 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-Chloro-3-(chloromethyl)-5-methoxybenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 191.05 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).

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 1-Chloro-3-(chloromethyl)-5-methoxybenzene 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.
