4-(Difluoromethoxy)-2-fluoro-4'-(trifluoromethyl)-1,1'-biphenyl CAS 1261440-14-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(Difluoromethoxy)-2-fluoro-4'-(trifluoromethyl)-1,1'-biphenyl is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 4-(Difluoromethoxy)-2-fluoro-4'-(trifluoromethyl)-1,1'-biphenyl (CAS 1261440-14-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H8F6O, MW 306.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 4-(Difluoromethoxy)-2-fluoro-4'-(trifluoromethyl)-1,1'-biphenyl is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 306.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
