Chemical Structure

Ethyl (2,6-dichloro-4-formylphenoxy)acetate CAS 27445-09-6 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl (2,6-dichloro-4-formylphenoxy)acetate (CAS 27445-09-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H10Cl2O4 and a molecular weight of 277.10 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl (2,6-dichloro-4-formylphenoxy)acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 277.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), Ethyl (2,6-dichloro-4-formylphenoxy)acetate 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.
