The occurrence of 3,3'-Dichloro-2,2'-dimethyl-1,1'-biphenyl is closely related to chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
3,3'-Dichloro-2,2'-dimethyl-1,1'-biphenyl (CAS 19482-21-4), molecular formula C14H12Cl2 and molecular weight 251.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
3,3'-Dichloro-2,2'-dimethyl-1,1'-biphenyl (C14H12Cl2) contains chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
