The occurrence of 2-(2,3-Dichloro-6-fluorophenyl)acetic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2-(2,3-Dichloro-6-fluorophenyl)acetic acid (CAS 886497-57-0), molecular formula C8H5Cl2FO2 and molecular weight 223.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2-(2,3-Dichloro-6-fluorophenyl)acetic acid (C8H5Cl2FO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/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).
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-(2,3-Dichloro-6-fluorophenyl)acetic 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.
