Chemical Structure

1-Chloro-2-(difluoromethoxy)benzene CAS 119558-77-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-Chloro-2-(difluoromethoxy)benzene 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.

1-Chloro-2-(difluoromethoxy)benzene (CAS 119558-77-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H5ClF2O and a molecular weight of 178.56 g/mol.

Structurally, 1-Chloro-2-(difluoromethoxy)benzene (C7H5ClF2O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 178.56 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Chloro-2-(difluoromethoxy)benzene 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.
