Chemical Structure

1,1,1-Trichloroacetone CAS 918-00-3 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 1,1,1-Trichloroacetone.

1,1,1-Trichloroacetone (CAS 918-00-3), molecular formula C3H3Cl3O and molecular weight 161.41 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1,1,1-Trichloroacetone (C3H3Cl3O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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), 1,1,1-Trichloroacetone 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.
