Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-1-(4-hexylphenyl)propan-1-one CAS 554439-49-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 252.78 g/mol gives 2-Chloro-1-(4-hexylphenyl)propan-1-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Chloro-1-(4-hexylphenyl)propan-1-one (CAS 554439-49-5), molecular formula C15H21ClO and molecular weight 252.78 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-(4-hexylphenyl)propan-1-one is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 252.78 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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-Chloro-1-(4-hexylphenyl)propan-1-one 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.
