Chemical Structure

1-Chloro-4-isocyanato-2-methylbenzene CAS 51488-20-1 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 1-Chloro-4-isocyanato-2-methylbenzene (C8H6ClNO) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

1-Chloro-4-isocyanato-2-methylbenzene (CAS 51488-20-1), molecular formula C8H6ClNO and molecular weight 167.59 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
