Chemical Structure

2-(2,6-Dichloro-4-formylphenoxy)acetic acid CAS 52268-21-0 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies 2-(2,6-Dichloro-4-formylphenoxy)acetic acid (CAS 52268-21-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H6Cl2O4, MW 249.05 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-(2,6-Dichloro-4-formylphenoxy)acetic acid (C9H6Cl2O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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-(2,6-Dichloro-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.
