3-Fluoro-4-chlorobenzyl chloride CAS 160658-68-4 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Fluoro-4-chlorobenzyl chloride 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.

3-Fluoro-4-chlorobenzyl chloride (CAS 160658-68-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H5Cl2F and a molecular weight of 179.02 g/mol.

Owing to fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Fluoro-4-chlorobenzyl chloride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 179.02 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
