The occurrence of 2,6-Difluoro-N-hydroxybenzamide is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2,6-Difluoro-N-hydroxybenzamide (CAS 125309-34-4), molecular formula C7H5F2NO2 and molecular weight 173.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2,6-Difluoro-N-hydroxybenzamide is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 173.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
