CATO supplies Sodium 2,5-Dichlorobenzoate (CAS 63891-98-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H3Cl2O2Na, MW 212.99 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of Sodium 2,5-Dichlorobenzoate (C7H3Cl2O2Na) is characterized by a salt form, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
