Chemical Structure

1-(3-Chloro-4-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethan-1-one CAS 703-97-9 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(3-Chloro-4-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethan-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.

1-(3-Chloro-4-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethan-1-one (CAS 703-97-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H6ClFO2 and a molecular weight of 188.58 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 1-(3-Chloro-4-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethan-1-one (C8H6ClFO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/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).

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.
