Ethyl 4-(difluoromethoxy)-3-iodobenzoate (CAS 1131614-53-3), molecular formula C10H9F2IO3 and molecular weight 342.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C10H9F2IO3, Ethyl 4-(difluoromethoxy)-3-iodobenzoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 342.08 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
