Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 170.64 g/mol gives 1-Chloro-3-phenylpropan-2-ol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
1-Chloro-3-phenylpropan-2-ol (CAS 5396-65-6), molecular formula C9H11ClO and molecular weight 170.64 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, 1-Chloro-3-phenylpropan-2-ol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 170.64 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
CATO manufactures 1-Chloro-3-phenylpropan-2-ol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
