Chemical Structure

3,5-Dichloro-2-methylbenzoyl chloride CAS 1803836-08-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3,5-Dichloro-2-methylbenzoyl chloride is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3,5-Dichloro-2-methylbenzoyl chloride (CAS 1803836-08-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H5Cl3O, MW 223.48 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3,5-Dichloro-2-methylbenzoyl chloride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 223.48 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.
