Chemical Structure

3-(4-Chlorophenoxy)pentane-2,4-dione CAS 31168-10-2 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-(4-Chlorophenoxy)pentane-2,4-dione 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.

3-(4-Chlorophenoxy)pentane-2,4-dione (CAS 31168-10-2), molecular formula C11H11ClO3 and molecular weight 226.66 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-(4-Chlorophenoxy)pentane-2,4-dione is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 226.66 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
