1,2,3,5-Tetrachlorobenzene CAS 634-90-2 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 1,2,3,5-Tetrachlorobenzene.

1,2,3,5-Tetrachlorobenzene (CAS 634-90-2), molecular formula C6H2Cl4 and molecular weight 215.89 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1,2,3,5-Tetrachlorobenzene (C6H2Cl4) contains 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.

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.
