Chemical Structure

4-Chlorophenylglyoxal hydrate CAS 4996-21-8 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 4-Chlorophenylglyoxal hydrate.

CATO supplies 4-Chlorophenylglyoxal hydrate (CAS 4996-21-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H7ClO3, MW 186.59 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

4-Chlorophenylglyoxal hydrate (C8H7ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Chlorophenylglyoxal hydrate 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.
