Chemical Structure

[2-(3-Chlorophenoxy)phenyl]methanol CAS 478032-36-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

[2-(3-Chlorophenoxy)phenyl]methanol (CAS 478032-36-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H11ClO2 and a molecular weight of 234.68 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, [2-(3-Chlorophenoxy)phenyl]methanol is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 234.68 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), [2-(3-Chlorophenoxy)phenyl]methanol 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.
