Chemical Structure

2-phenoxyethyl chloroformate CAS 34743-87-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 445.94 g/mol gives 2-phenoxyethyl chloroformate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-phenoxyethyl chloroformate (CAS 34743-87-8), molecular formula C15H7Cl6NO2 and molecular weight 445.94 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 2-phenoxyethyl chloroformate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 445.94 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).

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), 2-phenoxyethyl chloroformate 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.
