Chemical Structure

1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-(2,3-dimethylphenoxy)ethan-1-one CAS 338400-71-8 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-(2,3-dimethylphenoxy)ethan-1-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 274.74 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).

CATO supplies 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-(2,3-dimethylphenoxy)ethan-1-one (CAS 338400-71-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H15ClO2, MW 274.74 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
