Chemical Structure

4-(Difluoromethyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol CAS 1261606-01-2 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 4-(Difluoromethyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (C8H5F5O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
