Chemical Structure

3,5-Dichloro-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol CAS 1187989-89-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3,5-Dichloro-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3,5-Dichloro-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol (CAS 1187989-89-4), molecular formula C8H5Cl2F3O and molecular weight 245.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3,5-Dichloro-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol (C8H5Cl2F3O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), 3,5-Dichloro-alpha-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl Alcohol 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.
