Chemical Structure

2,2-Dichlorohexanoic acid CAS 18240-70-5 chemical structure

Description

2,2-Dichlorohexanoic acid (C6H10Cl2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
