Chemical Structure

2-(Dichloromethyl)-1,3-dioxolane CAS 2612-35-3 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 2-(Dichloromethyl)-1,3-dioxolane is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 157.00 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO supplies 2-(Dichloromethyl)-1,3-dioxolane (CAS 2612-35-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H6Cl2O2, MW 157.00 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

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.
