4-(4-Chlorobenzyl)benzene-1,3-diol CAS 6280-43-9 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 4-(4-Chlorobenzyl)benzene-1,3-diol.

4-(4-Chlorobenzyl)benzene-1,3-diol (CAS 6280-43-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H11ClO2 and a molecular weight of 234.68 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C13H11ClO2, 4-(4-Chlorobenzyl)benzene-1,3-diol contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 234.68 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
