Chemical Structure

1-Chloro-4-(chloromethyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene CAS 23131-73-9 chemical structure

Description

1-Chloro-4-(chloromethyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (CAS 23131-73-9), molecular formula C8H5Cl2F3 and molecular weight 229.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-Chloro-4-(chloromethyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 229.03 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Chloro-4-(chloromethyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene 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.
