Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol EP Impurity C.
CATO supplies 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol EP Impurity C (CAS 1805-32-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C7H6Cl2O, MW 177.03 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2,4-Dichlorobenzyl Alcohol EP Impurity C is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 177.03 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.
Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.
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.
