Chemical Structure

2-Iodo-5-methylbenzoyl chloride CAS 52107-96-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Iodo-5-methylbenzoyl chloride is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Iodo-5-methylbenzoyl chloride (CAS 52107-96-7), molecular formula C8H6ClIO and molecular weight 280.49 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Iodo-5-methylbenzoyl chloride (C8H6ClIO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; 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.

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.

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.
