Chemical Structure

2,3-Dichloro-5-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride CAS 871876-53-8 chemical structure

Description

2,3-Dichloro-5-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride (C7H5Cl3O2S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

2,3-Dichloro-5-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride (CAS 871876-53-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H5Cl3O2S and a molecular weight of 259.54 g/mol.

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.
