Description

The occurrence of 3,5-Dichloro-4-n-pentylbenzophenone is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3,5-Dichloro-4-n-pentylbenzophenone (CAS 951887-77-7), molecular formula C18H18Cl2O and molecular weight 321.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 3,5-Dichloro-4-n-pentylbenzophenone (C18H18Cl2O) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 321.24 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3,5-Dichloro-4-n-pentylbenzophenone 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.
