Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxyhexanoate CAS 156544-72-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxyhexanoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl 2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxyhexanoate (CAS 156544-72-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H14F2O3 and a molecular weight of 196.19 g/mol.

Ethyl 2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxyhexanoate (C8H14F2O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, 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. 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.
