4-(2,5-Dichlorophenoxy)benzoic acid CAS 938228-47-8 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 4-(2,5-Dichlorophenoxy)benzoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

4-(2,5-Dichlorophenoxy)benzoic acid (CAS 938228-47-8), molecular formula C13H8Cl2O3 and molecular weight 283.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4-(2,5-Dichlorophenoxy)benzoic acid (C13H8Cl2O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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.
