Chemical Structure

2-(4-Chlorophenoxy)benzoic acid CAS 6410-65-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2-(4-Chlorophenoxy)benzoic acid (CAS 6410-65-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H9ClO3, MW 248.66 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2-(4-Chlorophenoxy)benzoic acid (C13H9ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 248.66 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

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.
