Chemical Structure

1-(Benzyloxy)-2-chloro-4-methylbenzene CAS 859186-91-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 1-(Benzyloxy)-2-chloro-4-methylbenzene (CAS 859186-91-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H13ClO, MW 232.71 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 1-(Benzyloxy)-2-chloro-4-methylbenzene (C14H13ClO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic 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 presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), 1-(Benzyloxy)-2-chloro-4-methylbenzene 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.
