Chemical Structure

3,3-Bis(chloromethyl)oxetane CAS 78-71-7 chemical structure

Description

3,3-Bis(chloromethyl)oxetane (CAS 78-71-7), molecular formula C5H8Cl2O and molecular weight 155.02 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3,3-Bis(chloromethyl)oxetane (C5H8Cl2O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; 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.

CATO manufactures 3,3-Bis(chloromethyl)oxetane under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
