Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 219.11 g/mol gives 2-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)butan-2-ol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)butan-2-ol (CAS 58977-35-8), molecular formula C10H12Cl2O and molecular weight 219.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)butan-2-ol (C10H12Cl2O) 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).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)butan-2-ol 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.
