Chemical Structure

4-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-7,7-dimethyl-4,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2H-chromene-2,5(3H)-dione CAS 338778-02-2 chemical structure

Description

4-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-7,7-dimethyl-4,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2H-chromene-2,5(3H)-dione (CAS 338778-02-2), molecular formula C17H16Cl2O3 and molecular weight 339.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C17H16Cl2O3, 4-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-7,7-dimethyl-4,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2H-chromene-2,5(3H)-dione contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 339.21 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

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.
