Chemical Structure

3-(Benzenesulfonyl)benzene-1-sulfonyl chloride CAS 6461-78-5 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 3-(Benzenesulfonyl)benzene-1-sulfonyl chloride (C12H9ClO4S2) contains a sulfone group, 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 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 316.78 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO supplies 3-(Benzenesulfonyl)benzene-1-sulfonyl chloride (CAS 6461-78-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H9ClO4S2, MW 316.78 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
