Chemical Structure

2',3'-Dichloro-4'-hydroxyacetophenone CAS 2977-53-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2',3'-Dichloro-4'-hydroxyacetophenone is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2',3'-Dichloro-4'-hydroxyacetophenone (CAS 2977-53-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H6Cl2O2, MW 205.04 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C8H6Cl2O2, 2',3'-Dichloro-4'-hydroxyacetophenone contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 205.04 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), 2',3'-Dichloro-4'-hydroxyacetophenone 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.
