Chemical Structure

1,3-Dichloro-2-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene CAS 115571-64-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 229.03 g/mol gives 1,3-Dichloro-2-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

1,3-Dichloro-2-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (CAS 115571-64-7), molecular formula C8H5Cl2F3 and molecular weight 229.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1,3-Dichloro-2-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (C8H5Cl2F3) contains fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
