Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 245.03 g/mol gives 2,3-Dichloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2,3-Dichloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol (CAS 886501-93-5), molecular formula C8H5Cl2F3O and molecular weight 245.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2,3-Dichloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol (C8H5Cl2F3O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).
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 manufactures 2,3-Dichloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
