Chemical Structure

2,3',4,4',5-Pentachlorodiphenyl ether CAS 60123-65-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2,3',4,4',5-Pentachlorodiphenyl ether.

2,3',4,4',5-Pentachlorodiphenyl ether (CAS 60123-65-1), molecular formula C12H5Cl5O and molecular weight 342.43 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, 2,3',4,4',5-Pentachlorodiphenyl ether is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 342.43 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
