Chemical Structure

4,5-Dichloro-2,3-dihydroxybenzonitrile CAS 73275-91-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 4,5-Dichloro-2,3-dihydroxybenzonitrile (CAS 73275-91-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H3Cl2NO2, MW 204.01 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 4,5-Dichloro-2,3-dihydroxybenzonitrile (C7H3Cl2NO2) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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

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.
