CATO supplies 3,6-Dichloro-4-methylbenzene-1,2-diamine (CAS 2160-11-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H8Cl2N2, MW 191.06 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 3,6-Dichloro-4-methylbenzene-1,2-diamine (C7H8Cl2N2) is characterized by a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
