The occurrence of (R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)oxirane 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.
CATO supplies (R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)oxirane (CAS 62600-71-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H7ClO, MW 154.59 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
(R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)oxirane (C8H7ClO) 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), (R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)oxirane 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.
