Chemical Structure

1-(2-Chloroethoxy)propan-2-ol CAS 871-57-8 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 1-(2-Chloroethoxy)propan-2-ol.

1-(2-Chloroethoxy)propan-2-ol (CAS 871-57-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H11ClO2 and a molecular weight of 138.59 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C5H11ClO2, 1-(2-Chloroethoxy)propan-2-ol contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 138.59 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
