1-(Chloromethyl)-4-(tert-pentyl)benzene CAS 28162-11-0 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1-(Chloromethyl)-4-(tert-pentyl)benzene.

1-(Chloromethyl)-4-(tert-pentyl)benzene (CAS 28162-11-0), molecular formula C12H17Cl and molecular weight 196.72 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(Chloromethyl)-4-(tert-pentyl)benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 196.72 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.

CATO manufactures 1-(Chloromethyl)-4-(tert-pentyl)benzene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
