Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of 2,3-Dichloro-6-(hydroxymethyl)phenol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2,3-Dichloro-6-(hydroxymethyl)phenol (CAS 73713-96-9), molecular formula C7H6Cl2O2 and molecular weight 193.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2,3-Dichloro-6-(hydroxymethyl)phenol (C7H6Cl2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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.
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), 2,3-Dichloro-6-(hydroxymethyl)phenol 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.
