Chemical Structure

6-Chlorohexyl acetate CAS 40200-18-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 6-Chlorohexyl acetate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

6-Chlorohexyl acetate (CAS 40200-18-8), molecular formula C8H15ClO2 and molecular weight 178.66 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C8H15ClO2, 6-Chlorohexyl acetate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 178.66 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.

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), 6-Chlorohexyl acetate 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.
