Chemical Structure

3,6-Bis(chloromethyl)durene CAS 3022-16-0 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 3,6-Bis(chloromethyl)durene.

3,6-Bis(chloromethyl)durene (CAS 3022-16-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H16Cl2 and a molecular weight of 231.16 g/mol.

Structurally, 3,6-Bis(chloromethyl)durene (C12H16Cl2) contains chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 231.16 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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), 3,6-Bis(chloromethyl)durene 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.
