Chemical Structure

4,5-Difluoro-2-methylbenzoyl chloride CAS 1030012-21-5 chemical structure

Description

4,5-Difluoro-2-methylbenzoyl chloride (CAS 1030012-21-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H5ClF2O and a molecular weight of 190.57 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4,5-Difluoro-2-methylbenzoyl chloride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 190.57 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), 4,5-Difluoro-2-methylbenzoyl chloride 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.
