Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol CAS 53065-95-5 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Chloro-1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol 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.

2-Chloro-1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol (CAS 53065-95-5), molecular formula C8H7Cl3O and molecular weight 225.50 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Chloro-1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethan-1-ol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 225.50 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
