Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propan-1-one CAS 68505-86-2 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Chloro-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propan-1-one meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

2-Chloro-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propan-1-one (CAS 68505-86-2), molecular formula C10H11ClO3 and molecular weight 214.65 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Chloro-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propan-1-one (C10H11ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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.

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.
