1-(4-Hydroxy-2-iodophenyl)ethan-1-one (CAS 89942-32-5), molecular formula C8H7IO2 and molecular weight 262.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
1-(4-Hydroxy-2-iodophenyl)ethan-1-one (C8H7IO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
