Description

2-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)acetaldehyde (CAS 109346-86-3), molecular formula C8H12ClFO and molecular weight 178.63 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)acetaldehyde (C8H12ClFO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 178.63 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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), 2-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)acetaldehyde 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.
