Chemical Structure

2-chloro-4-methyl-benzophenone
71549-60-5 CAS 71549-60-5 chemical structure

Description

2-chloro-4-methyl-benzophenone 71549-60-5 (CAS 71549-60-5), molecular formula C14H11ClO and molecular weight 230.69 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2-chloro-4-methyl-benzophenone 71549-60-5 is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 230.69 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-chloro-4-methyl-benzophenone 71549-60-5 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.
