Chemical Structure

2,4-Dichloro-6-methylcinnamic acid CAS 1807415-79-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2,4-Dichloro-6-methylcinnamic acid (CAS 1807415-79-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8Cl2O2, MW 231.08 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2,4-Dichloro-6-methylcinnamic acid (C10H8Cl2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

CATO manufactures 2,4-Dichloro-6-methylcinnamic acid 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.
