(2-Chloro-4-formylphenoxy)acetic acid (CAS 52268-20-9), molecular formula C9H7ClO4 and molecular weight 214.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C9H7ClO4, (2-Chloro-4-formylphenoxy)acetic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 214.60 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
As a certified reference material (CRM), (2-Chloro-4-formylphenoxy)acetic acid 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.
