Chemical Structure

2-(Difluoromethoxy)-5-methylbenzaldehyde CAS 147249-30-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(Difluoromethoxy)-5-methylbenzaldehyde.

CATO supplies 2-(Difluoromethoxy)-5-methylbenzaldehyde (CAS 147249-30-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H8F2O2, MW 186.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-(Difluoromethoxy)-5-methylbenzaldehyde (C9H8F2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
