Chemical Structure

2,3-Dichloro-5-methylanisole CAS 1806346-46-2 chemical structure

Description

2,3-Dichloro-5-methylanisole (CAS 1806346-46-2), molecular formula C8H8Cl2O and molecular weight 191.05 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2,3-Dichloro-5-methylanisole (C8H8Cl2O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,3-Dichloro-5-methylanisole meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
