Chemical Structure

Pentafluorophenyl isocyanate CAS 1591-95-3 chemical structure

Description

Pentafluorophenyl isocyanate (CAS 1591-95-3), molecular formula C7H6F5NO and molecular weight 215.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Pentafluorophenyl isocyanate is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 215.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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 manufactures Pentafluorophenyl isocyanate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
