Chemical Structure

3-Chlorobenzoyl Chloride CAS 618-46-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Chlorobenzoyl Chloride is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-Chlorobenzoyl Chloride (CAS 618-46-2), molecular formula C7H4Cl2O and molecular weight 175.01 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3-Chlorobenzoyl Chloride (C7H4Cl2O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
