Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 217.09 g/mol gives 4-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)butan-2-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)butan-2-one (CAS 42160-40-7), molecular formula C10H10Cl2O and molecular weight 217.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)butan-2-one (C10H10Cl2O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 4-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)butan-2-one 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.
