Chemical Structure

2,3-Diiodophenol CAS 408340-16-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2,3-Diiodophenol.

CATO supplies 2,3-Diiodophenol (CAS 408340-16-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H4I2O, MW 345.90 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2,3-Diiodophenol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 345.90 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).

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.
