Chemical Structure

2,3-Dichloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl chloride CAS 886501-87-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 2,3-Dichloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl chloride (CAS 886501-87-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H2Cl3F3O, MW 277.46 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2,3-Dichloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl chloride (C8H2Cl3F3O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 277.46 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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.
