Description
CATO supplies 2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3-dimethylbenzene (CAS 5402-60-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H11Cl, MW 154.64 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3-dimethylbenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 154.64 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 2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3-dimethylbenzene 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.
