Chemical Structure

2-Cyano-2,2-difluoroacetic acid CAS 10159-95-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Cyano-2,2-difluoroacetic acid is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Cyano-2,2-difluoroacetic acid (CAS 10159-95-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C3HF2NO2 and a molecular weight of 121.04 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 2-Cyano-2,2-difluoroacetic acid is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 121.04 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
