Chemical Structure

5-Chloro-2-hydroxybenzophenone CAS 85-19-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Chloro-2-hydroxybenzophenone 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.

CATO supplies 5-Chloro-2-hydroxybenzophenone (CAS 85-19-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H9ClO2, MW 232.66 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 5-Chloro-2-hydroxybenzophenone (C13H9ClO2) is characterized by 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 its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), 5-Chloro-2-hydroxybenzophenone 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.
