Chemical Structure

3-[(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)methyl]benzoic acid CAS 832740-95-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-[(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)methyl]benzoic acid.

3-[(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)methyl]benzoic acid (CAS 832740-95-1), molecular formula C14H10Cl2O3 and molecular weight 297.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3-[(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)methyl]benzoic acid (C14H10Cl2O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-[(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)methyl]benzoic acid 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.
