Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 184.66 g/mol gives 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylethanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylethanol (CAS 5468-97-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H13ClO, MW 184.66 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylethanol (C10H13ClO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylethanol 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.
