4-Chloro-2-methylbut-2-enal (CAS 3330-25-4), molecular formula C5H7ClO and molecular weight 118.56 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 4-Chloro-2-methylbut-2-enal (C5H7ClO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Chloro-2-methylbut-2-enal 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.
