Chemical Structure

4-(Benzyloxy)-2,5-dichlorophenol CAS 6172-34-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

4-(Benzyloxy)-2,5-dichlorophenol (CAS 6172-34-5), molecular formula C13H10Cl2O2 and molecular weight 269.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-(Benzyloxy)-2,5-dichlorophenol (C13H10Cl2O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(Benzyloxy)-2,5-dichlorophenol 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.
