Chemical Structure

1,2-Difluoro-4-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzene CAS 1263376-06-2 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1,2-Difluoro-4-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)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.

1,2-Difluoro-4-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (CAS 1263376-06-2), molecular formula C8H5F5 and molecular weight 196.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1,2-Difluoro-4-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 196.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
