2-(4-Chlorobenzoyl)benzoyl chloride CAS 42156-76-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 2-(4-Chlorobenzoyl)benzoyl chloride under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

2-(4-Chlorobenzoyl)benzoyl chloride (CAS 42156-76-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H8Cl2O2 and a molecular weight of 279.12 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2-(4-Chlorobenzoyl)benzoyl chloride is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 279.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
