2-Chlorobenzyl alcohol CAS 17849-38-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 2-Chlorobenzyl alcohol 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.

2-Chlorobenzyl alcohol (CAS 17849-38-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H7ClO and a molecular weight of 142.58 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C7H7ClO, 2-Chlorobenzyl alcohol contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 142.58 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
