Chemical Structure

4-Chloro-6-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-pyran-3(6H)-one CAS 66187-15-3 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 4-Chloro-6-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-pyran-3(6H)-one (CAS 66187-15-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H7ClO3, MW 162.57 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 4-Chloro-6-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-pyran-3(6H)-one is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 162.57 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
