Chemical Structure

1-Chloro-2-(3-chloro-2-methylpropyl)benzene CAS 859189-17-6 chemical structure

Description

1-Chloro-2-(3-chloro-2-methylpropyl)benzene (CAS 859189-17-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H12Cl2 and a molecular weight of 203.11 g/mol.

1-Chloro-2-(3-chloro-2-methylpropyl)benzene (C10H12Cl2) contains chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; 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), 1-Chloro-2-(3-chloro-2-methylpropyl)benzene 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.
