Chemical Structure

Bis(2-chloroethyl) carbonate CAS 623-97-2 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 Bis(2-chloroethyl) carbonate.

Bis(2-chloroethyl) carbonate (CAS 623-97-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H8Cl2O3 and a molecular weight of 187.02 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C5H8Cl2O3, Bis(2-chloroethyl) carbonate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 187.02 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Bis(2-chloroethyl) carbonate 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.
