Chemical Structure

4-((4-Ethylphenyl)ethynyl)-1,2-difluorobenzene CAS 145698-42-6 chemical structure

Description

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO supplies 4-((4-Ethylphenyl)ethynyl)-1,2-difluorobenzene (CAS 145698-42-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H12F2, MW 242.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 4-((4-Ethylphenyl)ethynyl)-1,2-difluorobenzene is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 242.26 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-((4-Ethylphenyl)ethynyl)-1,2-difluorobenzene 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.
