Chemical Structure

2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)benzoic acid CAS 86308-86-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 283.11 g/mol gives 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)benzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)benzoic acid (CAS 86308-86-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H8Cl2O3, MW 283.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)benzoic acid (C13H8Cl2O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 283.11 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)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.
