Chemical Structure

5,5′-(Hexafluoroisopropylidene)di-o-toluidine CAS 116325-74-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5,5′-(Hexafluoroisopropylidene)di-o-toluidine is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5,5′-(Hexafluoroisopropylidene)di-o-toluidine (CAS 116325-74-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H16F6N2 and a molecular weight of 362.31 g/mol.

Structurally, 5,5′-(Hexafluoroisopropylidene)di-o-toluidine (C17H16F6N2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 362.31 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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.

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.
