CATO supplies Bis(2-chlorophenyl)methanol (CAS 6335-15-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H10Cl2O, MW 253.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Bis(2-chlorophenyl)methanol is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 253.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Bis(2-chlorophenyl)methanol 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.
