2,3,4,5,5-Pentachloropenta-2,4-dienoic acid (CAS 5659-41-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5HCl5O2 and a molecular weight of 270.33 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 2,3,4,5,5-Pentachloropenta-2,4-dienoic acid (C5HCl5O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, 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).
