Chemical Structure

3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2',6'-dichloropropiophenone CAS 898788-53-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2',6'-dichloropropiophenone.

3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2',6'-dichloropropiophenone (CAS 898788-53-9), molecular formula C15H11Cl3O and molecular weight 313.61 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2',6'-dichloropropiophenone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 313.61 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), 3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2',6'-dichloropropiophenone 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.
