Chemical Structure

1-(1,1-Difluoroethyl)-2,4-dimethylbenzene CAS 1204295-93-1 chemical structure

Description

Owing to fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1-(1,1-Difluoroethyl)-2,4-dimethylbenzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 170.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

1-(1,1-Difluoroethyl)-2,4-dimethylbenzene (CAS 1204295-93-1), molecular formula C10H12F2 and molecular weight 170.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

CATO manufactures 1-(1,1-Difluoroethyl)-2,4-dimethylbenzene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
