Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 21854-95-5 Benzil, 2,2'-dichloro- (8CI) 1,2-Ethanedione, 1,2-bis(2-chlorophenyl)- Ethanedione, bis(2-chlorophenyl)- 2,2'-Dichlorobenzil NSC 114829 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.

21854-95-5 Benzil, 2,2'-dichloro- (8CI) 1,2-Ethanedione, 1,2-bis(2-chlorophenyl)- Ethanedione, bis(2-chlorophenyl)- 2,2'-Dichlorobenzil NSC 114829 (CAS 21854-95-5), molecular formula C14H20Cl2O2 and molecular weight 291.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

21854-95-5 Benzil, 2,2'-dichloro- (8CI) 1,2-Ethanedione, 1,2-bis(2-chlorophenyl)- Ethanedione, bis(2-chlorophenyl)- 2,2'-Dichlorobenzil NSC 114829 (C14H20Cl2O2) 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. 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.
