As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-chloro-5-(chlorosulfonyl)-3-methylbenzoic acid 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.
2-chloro-5-(chlorosulfonyl)-3-methylbenzoic acid (CAS 90048-72-9), molecular formula C8H6Cl2O4S and molecular weight 269.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-chloro-5-(chlorosulfonyl)-3-methylbenzoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 269.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
