Chemical Structure

4-Chloro-1-(4-chlorophenyl)butan-1-one CAS 40877-09-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-Chloro-1-(4-chlorophenyl)butan-1-one is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-Chloro-1-(4-chlorophenyl)butan-1-one (CAS 40877-09-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10Cl2O and a molecular weight of 217.09 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-Chloro-1-(4-chlorophenyl)butan-1-one is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 217.09 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).
