Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-1-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene CAS 128540-52-3 chemical structure

Description

2-Chloro-1-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene (CAS 128540-52-3), molecular formula C7H3ClF4O and molecular weight 214.54 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-Chloro-1-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene (C7H3ClF4O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Chloro-1-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethoxy)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.
