Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-5-hydroxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione CAS 89284-69-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Chloro-5-hydroxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Chloro-5-hydroxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (CAS 89284-69-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H3ClO3 and a molecular weight of 158.54 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Chloro-5-hydroxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 158.54 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Chloro-5-hydroxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione 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.
