Chemical Structure

2,2-Dichloroethanol CAS 598-38-9 chemical structure

Description

2,2-Dichloroethanol (CAS 598-38-9), molecular formula C2H4Cl2O and molecular weight 114.96 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2,2-Dichloroethanol (C2H4Cl2O) is characterized by 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 2,2-Dichloroethanol 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.
